Of course. I have a guy at the end of my street, plus a whole bunch of machinists I work with, who might be interested in doing it. Now, I just need to take the bracket off my own car or buy one from Paul to get this started. Should be quick and easy, though. I'll post up when it's done.

Although I was using the Xtreme pressure plate, I installed it when my car had around 10-12K miles. The pedal gave way at a little over 40K. It seems that many of those who own the 2004 are in the mid to upper 40's on mileage and the brackets are breaking, even with the stock clutch. Ya know what's funny? I have been looking for an easy part to offer the forum so as to establish a new company and have been thinking along the lines of ignition coils, drive axles, and PPFs. If I get started with the bracket I guess that is just as good as long as it is the last one we'll ever need. I suppose you'll next tell me that I should make it out of.......titanium.

People are fairly reluctant to forge ahead on stuff so even if it/they were openly discussed I doubt too many would develop them anyway. However, trusting your ideas in my hands is something I take seriously so we'll discuss them and if they hit, you've got residuals coming. As a former pro musician, I know how those things work.
