Not for sale Monty sorry bud. R2specracing's idea to commercialize those really... I've just made a set for my box car and mind you, those purple seals I got may have fused to the engine by now. Haven't pulled them out to check since I've installed them so might be a permanent fix I've 'invented' lolllll

Needs R&D on the seal part that's for sure. I remember toasting two @300F for about 2hrs when I got them. They survived the heat but didn't survived a flame - died in less than 10secs.

Aluminum 7075 anodized with an industrial thickness is the way to go imo, that I'm 100% certain. Hope OP will make them that way instead of steel (steel is way too hard to machine also, raise prices).

Out of 6 tubes I've pulled, only two were not cracked or defect. Oil dripping and all.... this plastic tube thing is lame
