Would there be much interest in one of these?

I'm looking to make a beefier one for my car an wondered if anyone else might be after one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edited to add more info.

Pictures of the uprated items.





They are electroplated but they have been overpainted (plating visible underneath)
The metal plate is 30% thicker 4mm versus 3mm in all areas.

Price is £60 each with £2.50 for postage.

There are 5 left.

What is it about the mount that presents a problem? I've never had a chance to look.

The upper rear mount can fatigue crack and is then useless, a couple of people have uprated it to a thicker plate and as I've just got hold of a spare one to use as a pattern I thought I'd get a guy to quote on fabbing some up.

Obviously the more the merrier and I reckon 10 will be needed ideally.

Would use the search function to find a pic of a failed one but it's down at the mo.

Right guys had the prices back.

They're £60 each and need at least 5 to get it rolling.

They'll be made of 4mm thick steel which is 1mm thicker than standard. As a standard one is £32+VAT I think they're pretty reasonable.

They will also be electroplated and so will look OEM.

Right final bounce guys. If no interest I'll probably stump up the money for the extra 2 and then stick them on ebay at a higher price than offered here.

Right, they are done.

Just got to get the money over and I can arrange to send them out.

Also, they accidentally made 10! laugh So there are a few more available.

Ok, all posted off today so you should see them in a day or so.

If nothing by Friday drop me a line and I'll track them down with Royal mail.
