Protolabs would be better for the pedal guy since it's a machined aluminum part.
I got to the point where they quoted $235 for one :shock:

I'll need to MacGyver up something...
you can just take the clip out of the newer pedal and use the 510 pivot plastic that bolts to the car.

The V3 rack and pinion crossmember manufacturing file is now available for download. JBC is not charging for the download, but is asking that you leave a tip instead. Are there any opinions out there about what you think a equitable tip should be?

Considering the amount of time and effort expended to conceive, design, develop, manufacture, test and refine, refine (and refine) this product, and considering what they were being sold for originally, I would think no less than a $200 would be the minimum.

All the proceeds go to a good cause.

Y’all see this?
Different concept, doesn’t use engine crossmember.

Yes, pretty cool. Nice to see someone coming out with new stuff for the 510. Will be interesting to hear how well these work.

Its neat.

Whole thing sits below the engine though? would be easily the lowest part of the car by a lot.
