The one in the lic is a water jet piece, and it was something like $27... EACH.... so yeah, 3-5x the price for small shit.

I'm not going to powdercoat these as it may affect the pickup. Candnium or zinc plating is where it's gonna be at.
You have means to do that plating? I would think the zinc would be prone to flaking due to press fit and what not.

I know of a waterjet company that does a $150 min order for whatever you want (Regardless of what you want cut the minimum order will come to be $150, if materials and labor are in excess of that, the price is reflected to match).

Well... nevermind. I just double checked. The PS1k and PS2k don't have traction control based on wheel speed . They have boost control tables based on gear, but not wheel speed. . If that changes I may be interested in it.
