So the big question is was is it about them that they are so desirable that makes a guy fork out a week's wage or a days worth of beer money for one?!?!? Originality, sound??..... or just the fact that they look so cool on RJ''s, 'burbs & the occasional Lawn Ranger??? Hey maybe we could get them Made in China or Jap..... never mind ...they would probably be metric and we would have to buy a fifty dollar npt x metric adapter!!! You definitely could cut the blanks on a waterjet or plasma table - that'd be a great way to do it as the punch and die set for that thing is probably really large. It can definitely be farmed out to China but my family would have my a$$ if I did it -- lol. I do know people who I could give the part to and ask to get me a price to make this in China.
