Bob,
If you can put together a design of what you want and submit it to Bob
Southwick, then he can give you a quote and you can try to solicit enough
orders to make a production run. That is what Jack Drews did for the big
TR's. Jack wanted aluminum hubs for his car, and he and Bob designed the
hubs to take oversized wheel bearings. Then Jack solicted orders until he
got enough to meet Southwick's minimum. Jack didn't make a penny on the
deal, all he wanted was the hubs and he got what he wanted. The same can
work for the Spitfire/GT6 crowd.
