hey guys.
i've been working on this project for quite some time. danny warden used to have these made by a machinist in his area but they have not been available for years.
th ese nose cones are designed to be much stronger than the original early t-case counterparts found in fj40s, 45s and 55s. the billet models will work on the orion as well of course.
i finally found somebody who's willing and able to make these in short production runs and at a reasonable rate.
the first prototype will be pretty expensive since we need to make fixtures and buy the material just to make one. but once we have a solid working prototype, the cost should come down some. right now we're guessing that they're going to be just under $300 each.
there's been a lot of talk about these for a long time. many of us have been wanting one so let's see if we can get this going. i need to know who's serious about wanting one. you would have to come up with a deposit if you want one. i can't afford to do a run of 20 and pay for them just to hope that people will come thru. so they will be built by standing pre-paid order only and in small runs of 10-20 pieces.
