Default Prototype parts

would you be interested in being able to purchase Prototype parts, made-to-order parts that broadly speaking allow quick adjustments for 'testing' or different geometry to standard parts or if you have an idea to try something have it made for you.

Could be interesting, but would probably depend on costs

cost-wise would be 'more' than off the shelf after market parts due to small volume production.

the benefits would be that you could almost spec exactly what you wanted, maybe an 'extra' hole on a hub or a shock tower as an example

or it would be a part where you can quickly change a setting, perfect for test days or club races where you want to test different things but have limited time

Delrin, Alu, Carbon etc - whatever can be sourced

most things that can be machined, nothing moulded as you can understand

I'd like to see Ti tranny components... diff spurs, drive shafts and diff internals - bevel gears etc for the DEX... if enough interest then a limited run might happen
