Mako Parts ???

[Dave]

Me and my big mouth

I have been flooded with requests for Gavin plans.

Thats funny..
Most people are very eager and keen, until you get a price for a 10" slug of Delrin or HDPE and the machining costs...then the excitement wears off real fast.

P.S. I dont sell or give out my drawings for free either.

Well when I started this thread I was actually asking about buying used parts of mako scooters and piecing one together like that...I doubt I would be doing any machining. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on decent prices or if they had any parts to build one....over time

I understand, sorry for the hijack.
The answer to your question is yes. With patience a little bit of work, and diligence you can end up with a great mako for under $500. Ive done it twice.

When I was at Steve Gamble's a while back for pockets, he had SCADS of Mako bits & bobs...does he sell re-mac's?

Johnny Cash had a song in the 1960s called "One Piece at a Time." It was about a guy that worked at an auto plant and stole one part every day, so after several years he had enough parts to build a whole car. The problem was, some parts were for a 1961 model, and some were for a 1964, and others from in between.

I found the lyrics to the song online, it is pretty funny to hear the whole thing performed:

The transmission was a '53
And the motor turned out to be a '73
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.

So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an A-daptor kit
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on.

Yeah, after I posted, I looked up the lyrics. I was off concerning the specific years, but I figured it was close enough to get the point.

It's a funny song. For all the lyrics, go here
