    The only reason I would recommend against the yellow calipers is that, under heavy braking with CCB and how hot they get, the yellow finish will tend to turn brown over time. Red and black will show the heat aging a lot less than yellow.

    If you measure it up it that button would be easy enough to print... same with the surround. Just need the OD, ID and thickness. Size of text. Same with the surround though would need a picture of the surround.
    Both items should be made of ABS and vapor smoothed. Might take a few goes to get perfect but is definitely doable. Then would require paint. Like someone else suggested already - you could also get it resin printed.
    For what it is - someone may even be able to CNC it for you from plastic also. Heaps of options and whoever does it will probably be able to offload more than one.

    Have you ever thought about tackling a manual conversion? I would be interested to see everything that's involved. With the prices of gated manuals soaring (at least in the US), it might be more cost effective for many enthusiasts to convert an F1 car to a manual versus paying the premium for a factory gated car.

    For the button make a simple silicone mold and cast the button in tinted red urethane plastic. This can be done without fancy casting methods, open face mold, no pressure tank needed but always preferred. Then just paint the black letters with enamel or acrylic lacquer paint. Don’t paint the cast part red as the paint will wear off and show the natural urethane. Don’t 3D print a new part either as it will show build lines and the paint will wear off too. Let me know if I can help your project.

    That said…looking at your black strad with its yellow calipers, I kinda had a slightly mad idea. I happen to think red on black is a great look and you happen to have red calipers and yellow calipers, so why not swap them from one car to another? I recall that bleeding the brakes on an older Ferrari is it’s own special hell, but if you are willing to put in the elbow grease you could get it done at no additional cash outlay.

    Why not take the start button and make a cast for making your own new button? Its a simple enough part to cast. You just need a small smelter and some aluminum to cast a new button.

In fact once the design is ready its possible to distribute the software file to anyone with a 3d printer to crank out a copy. The hardest part will be getting the correct shade of red plastic filament.

    you could find a machine shop to easily turn that start button out. And it would be made out of metal.

    Lovin the build Scott, a machine shop should be able to turn a switch cover up easily and then mill the writing in……. 👍

    Like the way it’s turned out 👍🏻 I did want to ask if you put some sound mat on the inside of the carbon fiber door panels to quiet that area down. As far as the keeping, keep which ever one calls to you. Oh, Red Callipers😊

      Theres literally no sound deadening on these CS cars. Ferrari went to extreme lengths to shed weight and so all the floor material they used on the spider and modena cars was stopped away for the CS and from memory doing the spider build it was about 5kgs
