like the lid plate, can you get anything etched onto it or do you have specific traces?

How come you never have any curved bends? I think a lot of your products would look a lot better like this instead of boxes.

Because they're not aluminum. The only thing you can get w/ curves is billet aluminum parts made on a CNC, like MBA parts.

The reason you dont "see" a plate is b/c it looks like a mirror! I was gonna say the same thing, untill I realized I was looking at the backside of the belt assembly

Nice work toofast. Really cool to see some new products

And why can't you bend stainless steel with a curve? There's tons of products out there with curved SS???

You can for say, a FRC but not for say, a brake fluid reservoir. Unless you weld, cut & grind. Then by the time it was done it wouldn't be profitable unless it was a one off custom piece & it would have to be chromed

are you able to make the head plate a perfect fit? that one looks to be larger than the end of the head. also...any way to have you drill holes to bolt it in?

if so then i might be VERY interested.

Yeah that too. I doubt 3M will stay sticky after just a single heat cycle

Maybe the pictures look like it's hanging over more than it really is? I didn't think it was that bad so I made a diagram: Green is the original head, Red is my head plate & Yellow shaded area is where the head plate hangs over. This is as good as I can get the head plate, so if you're not happy with it, sorry.

The 3M adhesive tape can stand pretty high temperatures 250-300°F from what I've read. I'll be driving my car around today, so I'll let you know for sure how it does
*UPDATE: I didn't get to drive my car today due to rain but I've decided not to chance it w/ the 3M tape, could fall off if a car overheated or something. So the head plate will have holes and I'll offer optional polished stainless button head bolts

Thank you
Specialized Stainless

I didn't even try. It probably would but I don't want to chance it.
