Dundee ummmmhhhh 1000 reasons why I like it!

Shane right angle feelers are like less than $10 at most good tool shops
I used to use them for my Honda twin or it was harder than my flip lip

Yes they are over priced, But as you know, market forces determine the price. Landed to OZ is about ~$900 delivered.

In reality, most Aussie manufacturers are not interested in this type of work, and if they do, its usually at a premium. raw material, design, tool up and produce. You have your design ready to go, so maybe someone in Australia is up to the task for a fair fee. ~$250 - $400 would be reasonable.

As 3D printing becomes more mainstream, I think it will be a game changer from a price point of view.
