You can bend the pin in any shape that you want and they even come with a nice shifter knob on the top. A little light sanding on the bobby pin "shifter knob" gets rid of the seam line and you're in business.

Joe, is there a clearer picture of these available. Looking to see if they have radio, etc. found some Gofer decals that do, but they are twice the price.

I'll check. In the meantime I did find a lot of stuff for these things. Check it out:

https://www.hobbylinc.com/model-car-gar ... scale-2156

I didn't find any clearer picture of those Lyle. I did find these, however.

These are printable:

Above and beyond, Joe. Thank you. The last one looks like what I found. Over thinking this...way too much.
