Heck, even buying some blueprints at this point would be sufficient. I just wanted to support the "little guy." It sucks that there isn't a way to take this show bigtime?

try designing some yourself..

before vortech offered the dual drivers side bracketry, my buddy and I went into business and designed and made drivers side dual bracketry. I sold about 30 sets.. after vortech saw the market for it, they built some too.. we stopped making them as we were trying to fill a void, not make a million dollars..

about a year later, we made our first passenger side bracket but didnt have the time to continue doing them. Shortly there after, Dale from swill fabbed something up and then I saw Ian's come out..

its not real hard, they are work on the same premise...

Holy crap ! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That sure is an impressive signature:)

I use the Vortech kit and it works good. I didnt pay close to 600 for them. I have a buddy who hooked me up and sorry but thats all I can say about were I received mine from but just wanted to let everyone know that they do work.

If there is enough interests in people wanting these I can make them. Maybe Ian can get with me with what he had made and we can both make out on this. I have the time and equipment to do them, only problem is.........I am a novi guy and have no clue to what exactly you all need. So I would either need the pieces from a previous design or someone needs to give me there charger and brackets for me to gage off of.

If someone wants to make a list of real people that would want them and WILLING to pay let me know. I know I can come in way under the 600 mark if all it is a secondary plate, added pulley, spacers, and misc hardware. But I am not going to set-up to just make 5 of them. As Ian said it has to be worth the while.

How many people you need? There was a good amount of people interested.

And what ball park are you looking at you think so we can start getting people who may be interested.

I need dimensions, specific hardware, and most of all a clue to what exactly I am making. I have to figure material costs, machine time, my labor. I am not picking on you tstang, but it is a little more invovled than people may think. It has to be worth my time and effort to do them. I need to do a set 1st to test to make sure that it is correct and figure out total costs before I can give an exact dollor amount to anyone Right now I am trying to gage interest and make sure people are dead serious before I make an investment out of my pocket and time. Give you guys an example, I took on a side project of making 3 dry sump oil pans for a dude that runs scca with a nissan. Since 10-29 I have had only 4 days off and that was to take a short vacation. From this past friday to monday I put in 45 hours to get this stuff done, and I am a regular mon thru friday, 40 hr type. I am getting 2500 a pop for these and a regular shop would not even touch them for that. Again I am not trying to be rude but I have to make sure its going to be worth it for me to do. Thanks

If I had to do it again I wouldn't.

There is not enough demand out there. Vortech has now stepped up and has mass produced these. Yes the cost is higher but they are out there.

I know that you may see a few users on here that want them and my friends, friends brothers dad wants one but money talks.

Since I have the CNC drawings and have invested the time and effort I would do them now, but to start up from scratch - I wouldn't.

No offense taken. I cant give you any of the diminesions you need. Nor do I have a kit that I can send to you. I know you need a actual run of a piece to figure out cost. But its kinda hard to get people interested without a ballpark #. Thats all I was asking. If this happens in the near future Id be interested.

no its there renegade kit they dont have it listed on there site. It has 2- 1/2 aluminum plates and a awesome belt tension design to it. You reuse your exsisting accesory bracket that the Vortech kit originally came with
