HI ALL I'M PLAYING WITH THE IDEA OF MAKING NEW STAINLESS CARB DRIP PLATES FOR THE 2 BARRELS IT WOULD BE ALMOST DUBBLE THE PRICE OF THE SINGLE BARREL PLATES THEY WOULD SELL FOR AROUND $20 AND I'M NOT SURE THAT THERE WOULD BE THAT MUCH INTREST IN THEM THE SMALLEST ORDER WOULD BE 50 PEICES + A ONE TIME SET UP FEE OF $700 TO MAKE THE DIE + THE PRICE OF EACH PLATE I'M THINKING IT IS TO MUCH I NEED SOME INPUT FROM YOU GUYS THEY WOULD BE MADE WITH SLOTTED HOLES FOR THE 4 BOLTS THAT WAY THEY WOULD FIT 35 AND UP ON IN TO THE 55AND 56 CARBS WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THERE A MARKET FOR THESE POST YOUR ANSWERS HERE
THANKS

    Paul-

    I don't think anyone else is currently producing these in quantity. Nice feature about the slotted holes-- certainly increases your market with the # of years that are applicable. I think it will take about 2 years to sell 50 sets.

    Why die-cut? Get them water or laser cut.

    I'M THINKING I MAY BE ABLE TO SELL SOME TO NONHUDSN OWNERS NASH, PACKARD,CHEVY AND SOME OTHER GM CARS IT WOULD WIDEN THE MARKET AS FOR WARTER JET CUT THE PRICE WAS HIGHER

    The math dosent add up. If you sell 50 units at $20 each and you have an initial set up of
    $700 plus the cost of each unit it looks like you will take a loss on each unit you sell..
