[simpits-tech] Custom made knobs, etc

[Robert Bibber]

I'm not even sure this would be feasible yet.I need to do some test castings and price out different resins, release agents, mold materials etc. I believe each job would be quite custom at first until I start amassing molds for various parts. Truthfully, you are only the third one to respond so I don't even know if it would be worth the effort at this point.

I am fairly certain that I could duplicate some hard to find parts like knobs, throttle grips and the like. If I could borrow samples of some of these hard to find parts I am sure I could replicate them affordably and make them available to pit builders in the states. One thing I need to know is if there is sufficient interest in the pit building community for this to be worth putting my time and effort into.
