***CAUTION*** I do my own stunts!
I posted this in the other thread found here...

Just got an email from Gruven. He is asking for some input to see what kind of interest there is in these. Here is the content of the email...
Ken,
The only real way we can make this is as machined/tig welded 6061-T651 aluminum Y tube and include 2 short lengths of coolant hoses with hose clamps to allow it to be attached to existing hard lines via coolant hose. Cost likely $69.99 ea lead time 2-3 weeks. We need 10 orders.
Can you post this info with instruction to just email me directly to get on the buy list ?
I will also get some screen shots of the design as well soon.
We need some input/assurance from potential buyers on this. I realize OEM part cost is like $10 so we need to be sure people aren’t just going to buy 7 of the plastic parts and replace them on side of road each time they break. Sounds like a huge pain to me but I know money is always tight so we have to be respectful of what people are willing to pay to end this problem once and for all.
To build the part as per OEM, it would cost hundreds of dollars, and would require injection molding tooling to make the white plastic inserts. Then you would still have a plastic insert in there so it would only be as strong as whatever that was.

Also if you do email him please post in here so we can keep a tally of how many we have/need.
Just thought I would post it here as well since there was discussion about it here.
