Hello Guys....

Anyone have a decent source for this part?

Ron A, Daryl, Surplus City? etc?

Please let me know, I need a few of them.

Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year to the Mite Board!

And I need 6...
I have not found a source. We might need to get together and have some made.

Guys,

That's what I suspected....I talked to Ron today..he said these are not avaialable.....maybe somebody has some....If so, hopefully they'll speak up.

So.... I've been thinking about this....

I now have a digital model now and essentially the blueprint....Reverse engineered from an original. I'll check out having a small run of these made, my guess is they'll be expensive (if done right) probably something like 100-150 set..... are you guys still interested?
Thanks,

Rob

Guys,

Have finally made some progress on this...

Below is the prototype.... hope to have some finished sets fairly soon. As mentioned earlier, these will be expensive, at 75.00ea, (sold in Sets) please understand this is a very low volume job, and that I've already spent a lot of time and $ on it..... I'll be lucky to break even.

if interested, now is a good time to let me know your continued interest level.

Thanks,

Rob flxdsn@gmail.com
