Do you think you'll ever be able to produce and sell some of these parts? I want to start doing some body updates, but I'll wait for yours if it's going to happen

Actually I started a second mirror design also making taller diffuser fins for MS rear. Also started drawing up the designs for the wide fenders.

I've been swamped at work with no end on a design/build job, probably wont gear down until March. Been so exhausted I pretty much come home and crash. You'd think work would slow a bit now that one of the wars has ended but nope, never been so busy.

Nope I just trashed it a few weeks ago. I tend to do that, for every mock up I do for prototype there are 3-4 more that were actually built as tests, which I wont even bother with pictures. That diffuser only took up a day of my time if I ever exploited that again it wont take too much time at all.
