Re: custom billet idea? If you charge a reasonable price I would defienlty be interested along with alot of other folks on here as well as other sites. Mallory has some great pieces but they are extremly expensive and slow to put out new pieces.

Re: custom billet idea? How about the shoulder harness loops on the seats? The plastic ones break rather easily....I've replaced one each on both the Z28 and the WS6.
Make 'em like the convertible loops with the gap in it for the harness to slip through, only put the gap on the bottom of the loop so the belt isn't constantly coming out....
The harness retractor is a lot higher on coupes than the convertibles, so the gap would be better on the lower side.

I would even like to get just a finished piece so I get it powder coated and laser engraved like the last pieces I did.
What about a tensioner pulley? I might have the IGS file soon for this and for a power steering cover.
