Saleen4971 · 03-27-2009, 05:55 AM

You wouldn't by chance have any inclination to produce a few sets of these to sell to your good friends here @ theSpeedFreaks?

Saleen4971 · 03-27-2009, 03:48 PM

honestly, im not doing this for a profit. i could do it, but these CAD files are really for people to take to a machine shop and say "i need these made"

vortech doesnt offer the brackets anymore, and i am not copying anybody elses bracket on the market, so i see no issue - esp. since i am not turnign ANY profit off of it.

i could try and find a place to have them made near me, and sell them for my cost (plus a few bucks for gas, etc.) if somebody needs it, but i honestly dont know if anybody up here would have a CNC machine.

we have on on campus that i am going to try and use, to test this CAD file and make sure it is okay, and if they are i may jsut sell the original brackets i have for what i payed. i certainly can not under ANY circumstances produce these brackets at school, and sell them to people (especially not for a profit)

when i am finished, i will make them available to all SFN-ers

Count me in on them... I'll spot you a few $$ if ya need. That is my next project to piece together a Vortech Kit for my 408.

I just trace my bracket on 1/4" aluminum stock, cut it, sand it and cut spacers to the block n DONE.......bout 2 hours.

Saleen4971 · 06-05-2009, 10:39 PM

The mounting plate isn't the hard part - its the spacer. And that piece of more than just a hole of X depth, as u probly know. Haven't worked on this in a while, ill hafta jump back on it soon, once things calms back down
