I'm new... how many people here buy custom Machined Parts?

Just wondering How many people buy custom machined parts for their rides??? I'd like to start a business and was wondering what people may have bought. Please pass this on so I can get a good Idea of what kind market there is and what kinds of things people are looking for. Thanks!

I'm a bit unsure how to respond since you asked about Machined Parts which, to me, indicates a company by name. If, on the other hand, you mean machined parts, then hell yeah I use 'em. Some parts in a mod can only be achieved by creating 'em on da' spot.

For my next mod, a new bracket plate has gotta' be fabricated to mount a fabricated belt tensioner to hold the damn thing taut enough to sustain a smaller pulley's greater speed.

Good luck with your plans, bro'.

It's all good Ivas this is good stuff so people want emblems and dress up kits which i am assuming are custom engraved radiator caps and such like i have seen... Ivas I'm guessing your looking for a bracket plate thats offset but i'm not sure if that would cause a problem with getting the belt off... thanks though man I need to find out if there is enough people and market for these kinds of things ask your friends what they have bought or what they wanted. thanks
