Oops, I meant to say $500. | ||

Before I started to produce tooling for our carbon fiber 355 F1 shift paddles, I realized that the 360 paddles are better in a couple of ways. First, the ends of the 360 paddles are larger, and second, they have a more graceful, attractive shape. While the spacing between the mounting screws is the same, the 355 and 360 paddles are not the same on the (backside) mounting surface. Another seller of carbon fiber F1 paddles previously stated that the 355 paddle would fit the 360, too. He's probably right, but since the mounting faces (red arrows below) of the 360 paddles are much larger than those of the 355 paddles, there would be a funny gap between the paddle and the wheel. The 360 paddle's mounting surface is too large to fit the 355. We're curreltly producing 360-style F1 paddles which will fit the 355 perfectly. The "UP" paddle face is about 3/8" higher on the wheel than the stock 355 paddle. The "DOWN" paddle face is in the same location as the 355's "DOWN" paddle, but the top extends 1/2" further up. One question? Why do the stock 355 paddles have the funny bulge (circled in red) near the mounting face? The lower picture shows our 360 paddle - our carbon fiber 355 paddle is identical except for the smaller mounting surface. Price is $600 for the pair.
