    I saw a set of NOS hinges for $250 and thought that was crazy for one set. It got me thinking…I have a friend who owns a few cnc's and can make anything and do it fairly inexpensively if enough interest. Popular example is he made a fuel filter bracket for an LS type fuel filter and sells the crap out of em and he had asked if there was anything I needed. Things off the top of my head is some bolt on hinges for our doors. It would be nice to have some lower profile ones made. I could design it and he could machine them. Looking for ideas on any other components within reason. If there is enough interest I may choose the most popular ones and have them made on my dime if I can help some fellow vanners out.

    I'd buy a set of hinges. I'm going to have to rebush all of mine and I have an 8 door so lots of drilling and bushing. Don
