25.01.2022 Testing in full swing for the VB-K gear indicator units. Should be available for pre-order soon, and looking to start shipping at the end of next week. P.s. note to the designer, should have made the test rig suit the 4 speed :) Note : Now available for Pre Order with FREE EXPRESS POST!! https://buildninja.com.au//vb-c-h-k-ratchet-style-gear-sh/

23.01.2022 Here at Build Ninja, we know how excited you get to receive your products. But guess what we have coming; our second Lulzbot printer!! This will enable us to have more control and precision over smaller parts, which will be a perfect match for our proven Taz5. We can't wait for this little bad boy to arrive and be put through its paces. Perfect for the new Fog Light Switch Mount for example :)

22.01.2022 Hi fellow Ninjas. We are getting a lot of early interest in the HQ-J ratchet indicators. So we have put them up for Pre-Order. We expect these to be ready in about 3 weeks give or take. All pre-orders will receive free Express post, and can be cancelled at any time for a full 100% refund prior to release. We want to take great care in the design phase to make these look as factory as possible with minimal mods required to fit. They will be available in 2, 3 and 4 speed, Forward and Reverse. https://buildninja.com.au//hq-j-ratchet-style-gear-indica/

21.01.2022 We are excited!! A cool old school Holden project on the go. This time its a HQ-HZ Auto shifter ratchet indicator. Again going for minimum modifications to the console. Stay tuned for progress :)

20.01.2022 This just sent to us by Brad. First install of his ratchet indicator. It's in his beautiful VY SS Ute. Its running a blown 6ltr, e85, tubbed, billets, and T400 reverse pattern shifter. To use his words he is "stoked with it". We just love getting feed back from our customers. Thanks Brad.

19.01.2022 The VL Ratchet decals are now available to purchase individually. They are available to suit 2, 3 or 4 speed, Forward or Reverse pattern. We expect the first shipment within a day or so. if you want to be one of the first to receive these we suggest you get in quick! https://buildninja.com.au//vl-ratchet-style-gear-shift-de/

18.01.2022 This just sent in to us of one of the very first finished intalls of the ratchet kit into a VL. The owner is really happy and said the intall was very simple. In this case he also went for a matching Build Ninja 3 guage pod in the sunglass holder too.

18.01.2022 We have just received the proofs from the printers for the VB-K and also the VT-X decals. We think they look fantastic. They were scanned to make sure the fonts are as close to the original factory ones as possible. We expect to have the prototypes finished and tested by the end of the week. If people would like to get there hands on the first batch they will be available;e for pre-order soon :)

18.01.2022 We love customer feedback. Thanks to Ben for sending through the info for the Jatco gearbox numbers. The 3 and 4-speed Jatco has been added to the VL gearbox selection to make it a little clearer.

18.01.2022 We are so pleased to announce the VL Ratchet Shift Kits are finalised and will be shipping from tomorrow. The decals look absolutely fantastic. Its been a very tricky design excercise, making the unit fit with minimal modifications to the original gear surround and look as factory as possible. Like all Build Ninja products they come with detailed fitting instructions, 100% money back gaurantee, and they are of course 100% Aussie designed and made. Available 4,3 and 2 speed,... forward and reverse pattern. To celebrate we are offering free express posteage on all VL orders tonight incldding the shifter untits, so check out opur fuull range of guage pods. All pre orders already in the system will also go out express. https://buildninja.com.au//vl-ratchet-style-gear-shift-in/

16.01.2022 The design process has started on the VR-S Fog light switch bracket. Starting off with a copy, then have some ideas to make it stronger to make them last as they should.

15.01.2022 VR-S Fog Light Switch Mount available for pre-order. Prototyping is finished. These should be shipping from the start of next week. Redesigned to be far superior and stronger that the original. (original top in picture, new below) Thicker stronger tabs, slotted holes for easy mounting. Comes with the two screws similar style to the original. https://buildninja.com.au//vr-s-commodore-fog-light-switc/

15.01.2022 And that's a wrap. The VT-X are ready to go. Quite a tricky thing to design to fit into position with zero modifications to the console at all. Like the other models available in 4, 3 and 2 speed versions, forward and reverse pattern. The pre orders will ship out tomorrow. Thanks all for your patience!! Can't wait to see these installed and doing their thing! -btw the glow in 3rd is just as its out of the car on the bench :)

15.01.2022 This just in from Matt on his beautiful install of the new HQ-J ratchet indicators. This is exactly what Build Ninja stands for, as factory looking as we can make it, and simple to install. In this case we worked closely with Matt on the first design. We love it.

13.01.2022 That's the VB-K 3 speed done and dusted through testing. Images have been taken and the installation guide also written. Currently on the printer is the final prototype 2 speed. Decals are ordered, so looking good for shipping to start at the end of next week on all versions.

13.01.2022 Progress on the HQ-J gear selector. Alot going on that can't be seen. Slow and steady wins the race!

12.01.2022 Hi Ninjas. Design has started on the VR/S Fog Light Switch mount. We had an OE one kindly donated by Ryzie, but we are after a section of the fascia where it goes, and a switch. The switch could be the air con, hazards, and doesn't need to work just physically be good. Also the fascia we just only need the corner so don't wreck a good one. Anyone in Adelaide northern suburbs got them, or if someone is willing to post can do you a nice discount on one of our products :) pm us please.

12.01.2022 This just in from Ashely on his very neat install into his VY streeter, running a nice cam, heads and a T400.

10.01.2022 We are excited!! The HQ-J ratchet indicators are almost there! Design - DONE, 3D Printing - DONE, Testing - DONE. Production decals expected early next week then those that have placed pre-orders will receive theirs Express post, free of charge. Available in 2, 3 and 4 speed, Forward and Reverse pattern https://buildninja.com.au//hq-j-ratchet-style-gear-indica/

10.01.2022 We thought we would share Ninja Gary's mod he made when installing his Pro Ratchet in HSV454. The look was for all mods to look semi-factory at first glance, but looking closer made you notice all the changes. Normally a ratchet shifter has the reverse lever across to the left out of line with the main shift lever. This means having to cut a separate hole in the shifter surround. This is not easy especially if you want to make it look neat, and factory. So the stealthy m...od is to cut off the reverse lever, then Tig weld it across in line with the main shift lever. This means it comes up through the factory gear lever slot behind the main shifter surround so no cutting is required. Then use black heat shrink tubing over the red anodised handle to disguise it a little. To finish off the stealth look is an adapter to mate a factory HSV manual gear knob to the ratchet shaft. We hope that is useful to someone, have fun everyone!!

10.01.2022 That's the Fog Light Switch fully tested and now available. The print time came out a bit more than expected which put the price up slightly but we will include free Express Post for the first 10 purchases. We are really happy with how this has turned out, it fits like a glove and is way better than the original. https://buildninja.com.au//vr-s-commodore-fog-light-switc/

09.01.2022 The install progress pics of the VL ratchet indicators are starting to come in. This one from Huss with his glide, still to wire up the Dakota unit though.

09.01.2022 Lead Ninja Gary, hard at work perfecting the VT-X ratchet indictors. These should be shipping we think by the end of next week.

08.01.2022 A fantastic amount of interest in our Gear Indicator units. Nice to see installs incorporating some of our existing gauge pods and clusters too!

08.01.2022 This just in from Gerasimo Dealz with his beautiful install of a TCI Outlaw shifter into his VL, running a forward pattern glide and Rb26/30. We love how well the colours set off against the grey console colour.

06.01.2022 The HQ-J indicator coming along really well. This is just a dummy test decal, but the print/fit etc is all worked out. Decals at the printer. For these, we will have the regular 6 options. 2, 3 & 4 speed, forward and reverse. But also a PRNDSL option for those that want to keep the factory numbering running a 3 speed forward pattern. We would expect to be shipping once the decals are here and we can put it through the final QA checks. So expect about 2 weeks. Just a reminder up for pre order now, including free express postage. https://buildninja.com.au//hq-j-ratchet-style-gear-indica/

04.01.2022 A couple more of Matts HJ ute.

02.01.2022 We are excited!! They are here, and they look and work fantastic! VB, VC, VH & VK Gear Selector Indicator kits. To celebrate we will extend the offer of free Express Post until midnight tonight including all VB-K Gauge Pods. If the VL model was anything to go by, get in quick. https://buildninja.com.au//vb-c-h-k-ratchet-style-gear-sh/

02.01.2022 Who doesn't love a piece of classic Aussie muscle!! We are getting close to finishing the Ford XW-Y ZC-D gear indicator units. We have been working with Ewen with his gorgeous XW for the prototype. They will be available in 2,3,& 4 speed, forward and reverse pattern. The kit will include the decal, 3D printed indicator plate fitted with LED;s, and also a custom acrylic panel to take the decal. We expect to ship these in 2-3 weeks, and all pre-orders will receive free express post. https://buildninja.com.au//ford-xw-y-zc-d-ratchet-style-g/

02.01.2022 Some more Aussie muscle. This time Andrews HQ running an LS3, and one of our ratchet indicators.Sounds like he was a little excited to see it all working :) We just love the passion you all have for your rides!
