   John; 
 
I'd have to agree with Bob, here. Seems like you have offered numerous copies 
of 
items previously developed and sold by others. Why not "come up with" an 
[original] idea of your own? 
 
Why doesn't someone fabricate the small metal tranny tunnel covers for the 
right 
angle speedo drive or the OD solenoid? I'm sure there are many other Six parts 
people need where no one has yet (or still does) brought them to market?
