Roy,

Wanna be my rich eccentric benefactor?

:-)

Yeah, all my work is hobby stuff. It’s getting easier now with better machining tools and much more cnc experience.   But it’s still hobby. The stainless shift part is good example. Would be very uncompetitive in the market, especially the cost conscious vanagon market.

Ah well, maybe one day I’ll have a van widget that I can sell and sit back and enjoy the money rolling in….ha!
