Well its about $7 worth of parts so their gross margin is still 140% or so.

And that's a generous estimate for the parts.

Still this little item totally exceeded my expectations.

this is pretty much how i felt about it..

Yeah unless you want to scale it up and build a hundred of them or however many it takes... or if you just like the challenge.

Also its a piece with the potential to really ef things up if you make a mistake.

Indeed on messing everything up, though I would double check the eBay ones for build quality too

I didn't say I wanted the injector bolts way back then, but bump that thread or make a new one and I'm sure you'll sell some more. I'll likely buy a set.
