I didnt throw you under the bus, you did. I told people who were interested in the thread what you said. I guarantee you I am not competing with any real vendor or machine shop. If anything they are getting free ideas from the thread. It takes me three hours to machine a single teeny 1" by 2"...

agreed..if they were selling it for $100 maybe that would make sense to try and make a $30 one..but they are selling it for $40 and that seems like a deal to me for a machined custom part lol the idea im most excited about so far is the sunvisor clip..hehe..im gunna make that thing so strong...

Okay heres the deal with this part: -if ironoffroad (sp?) sells them for $40, I cant really beat that by much, so I dont know why someone wouldnt just buy it from them. I could maybe do $30 each -i need to be able to test out whatever I make on my jeep. can I bolt this up or is it part of a...

LOL! I had this exact same idea last night! I guess that means I should make one. I'm on my third visor clip. The problem is I think the plastic one uses its material properties to have a springy effect and grab the visor shaft. Maybe not, but It might, so an aluminum version might need to be...

Here we go!! These are perfect. They sound like they are basically plate with shallow pockets or hole patterns. I have a Renix jeep, so I could try these out too. Heres the deal though...I'm not very active on Naxja so I'm not sure which of these would really sell. If you can find one person...

Its not something I need personally and I'm not sure anyone else would buy it, so it would be expensive. Not how much a normal shop would charge, but more than $100. Its gotta be something either I want too, or that I think I can sell, in order for you to get a great deal..i.e. free or heavily...

Is this a common need? Is it appropriate for it to be a machined part, or would a formed sheet metal part make more sense?

If I make one will you buy it? I'll make it to your specs. I can even make it have some curvature in the z axis so its not flat if you like, and I'll polish it too.

Interesting, I could definitely machine something like that, but where would I get the dimensions?

Cool!

I have a very small sherline cnc mill, and I'm looking for fun Jeep things to machine. I'm also into older chrysler k-cars, and on those forums I've started a thread like this and people have suggested lots of parts for those cars, and I've actually machined a couple and even sold a few. The...

oh yeah my bad..its a stick..no tranny cooler im gunna hope it lasts until the poly mounts get here my plan is: -install poly mounts -inspect lines to see if anything could have moved/bent/changed that would cause it -fix whatever is leaking -see if somehow rotating the new hose would...

All the parts mentioned except the motor mounts are from before I owned the Jeep..so I'm not sure. Ive been adding power steering fluid when it leaks so someone else must have loaded it with ATF. I dont think the steering box is different, but who knows. Isnt the steering box, and therefore...

you just gave me an excuse to order poly mounts, thanks!

ugh..thanks. the hose is bottomed out on the wp..so i guess somethings bent liike u say...looks like the pressure line is dead so ill get a new one first and see if i can figure out whats going on..how much clearance should there be?
