We did it 3 years ago , made the 1st and 2nd blocking rings started selling them for $125.00 each . Alot of the guys were greatfull and we sold quite a few but not all , then Bob Fontana started making contact with Mitsubishi USA ,Getrag and made great progress making parts available through CRS .
Things turned for us we were now a "rip-off".
We still sell them but not enough to justify making more , we now get more toll free calls like this : "Whats the number to CRS ?"

We have now lowered the price to $80.00 each on the blocking rings and probably will not make any more runs on them . Other projects that have been put off at this time are :

CAst Iron shift forks for the 6spd - this was suggested by Eric (99Missle) what ever happened to him ? Havent heard from him since 9/11/2001 and he called me often before that.

A thicker inner ring - this is going to be needed for the 6spds

A solid dummy ctr Diff- this will be needed as a replacement for the CTR DIFF unit, as VCU's get scarce and there is a big weight reward for doing this.

Basically nothing gets developed if there is no reward at the end of the road.
