OK. now I got a handle on what you are doing.
those I really do like!
how much for some more?
those would be easy on the shipping cost
and would make it worth buying
but if I may make a suggestion?
maybe a little thinner on the depth of the head?
just a bit, and maybe some more turning designs on the face of the head
drop me a p/m
Thanks and Great Job

im kinda limited on what i can make, see these are scrap pieces....when i make them they are anywhere from 5"-10" and i cut them off where i want them like these where there is a step at.... the cuts on the sides were done with a belt sander....i make some parts that have 2 ringgroves close to each other that could look like a piston

That is awesome!
You can get really creative with those.

Make them and sell them, who knows where that will go.

Keep up the good work!

Those would be in the 40-60(maybe more) price range as you have them now.
If there were more detail cuts in them, the price would be even more.
I am sure stocklike replacements are at least 30 dollars for a set.

I'm curious on how the headlight **** works for ya. The shaft is triangular shaped and the original **** bites the shaft ridges so it doesn't just pull off....Does your set screw method ever loosen on its own???
