Hard to hold close tolerances, but shouldn't be a problem on this part.
Great idea.
DING,DING,DING we have a winner. PM me your address and a set is yours.

Precision CNC made with ULTRA HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT space age material .Gives you 1/2" of buffer between your expensive rockers and speed bumps or steep driveways.

I use this stuff on my front frame bars you know where everyone bolts on the wheels.

Hey, I'm a machinist too. Making missile parts as I type. I object to "perfect." Made to close tolarances. Cool. Perfect? No. Sorry, just a machinist pet peeve! Good product idea by the way.

Great product idea.

I was a machinist in an R&D shop. Frequently engineers would take me to a lift, point up under a vehicle and say, "We need something made that will go up into this area and attach to something so it will hold this and do that." I would come back later with what I thought they wanted and they would look at it and say, "Perfect". I didn't object.

Prefection is what we all strive for .......why else would you drive a Vette. There is nothing more perfect than the times when I lose all ties to the world around me and just marvel in the perfect moments my outings in my Vette provide me with.....OH brother does that sound sappy

Enjoy the ride

I like the idea, they look like sliders for snowmobile suspension rails. Same material as well.

This is just what the Doctor ordered to save a C5 from post-lowering damage. I can't wait to install a set - after being part of the "think tank" for the design .

UPDATE: I have been approached by one of the best Forum Vendors for exclusive rights to sell my products. I belive that this would be a benefit for both the consumer and myself as a manufacture. Stay tuned as I hope to be able to make an announcement by the end of the week.
