Project...
Hello there,
This post comes at prime time... A machine shop in Sunnyvale CA made a few copies of these GMT mounts (10 pairs to be exact). The shop owner is in the final stages of finishing and these look GREAT (His primary market is titanium parts for the medical device sector + Tesla Motors = he is particularly sensitive to precision/ excellent craftmanship). This is one project we are experimenting to see if the demand exist. It took me over 8 months to find a pair - Thanks MikeO - I therefore assumed (confirmed here!) I am not the only one looking for these great mounts...
Now the touchy part: while simple to look at, it is a complicated/ time consuming effort for the CAD design (started from scratch) and 3 steps CNC machining juggling act. We have been discussing a "reasonable" price point (all subjective, I know) which will be $225 USD/ pair + ship.
We will be ready to ship sometimes within the next 2 weeks and would prefer to announce on ADV rider in the vendor section (rough crowd to please over there
). I can be found under "O-livier" on ADV as well. UKGSer is now the first to know about this small project.
If this project goes well (ie. sell these quickly with minimal "damage"), I could convince him to tackle making Terranova light bars (yeah, I know, a titanium Terranova would be the ultimate farkle! I dreamt of that one first
). This would be possible only if he avoids taking a bath on these mounts...
