Update 5/14 - I haven't heard anything from the guy since I sent him the plates. Things are looking bleak.

----------
Update 3/28 - The plates are now in the hands of my metal guy, so at this point I'll be waiting to hear back from him with a cost estimate to have them made.
----------

Update 3/11 - There is definitely enough interest for these - I'll push forward with this and see if I can make it happen, with an upper limit of $10 / pair. If it does happen, I'll also try to ensure the coin slot is large enough to take .984 tokens.
----------

I'm currently talking to someone about having these made...I know there have been threads in the past about it, and nothing has really panned out. The person I'm talking to doesn't think it should be an issue to have them made, he'd probably source it to one of his manufacturers overseas...no idea what that means on a timeline though, especially if it's a small order.

I'm gonna drop two in the mail to him today to check out, and hopefully get an idea of cost and minimum order numbers. However, I don't wanna get stuck with a few hundred of these things if the interest isn't there.

So, if these were available, how many would you be looking to buy? And what would you consider paying? $5/pair, $10/pair, $15/pair, other? Trying to get an idea of what the cost would need to be to actually sell the things if they were made.

I'd take around 2-6, and I don't know what I'd like to pay.

I definitely be down for a couple.

Not to necessarily thread jack but since these aren't actually available; if anyone is interested I have a set that I'm not currently using I'd trade/sell.

...just sayin'

I am able to get some 6-32 X 3/8 ones. They aren't that much longer. Check the pics. I'd have to grab a large quantity but if there is interest I'll do it. Would a pack of 20 @ $5.00 + shipping seem like a fair price?

I believe they are #6-32 x 1/4.

You could potentially get these and cut them down to size, from what I saw in a different thread.

If you mean $5 + shipping for bolts, yes. If you mean 5 + shipping for plates, heck yeah!
 
That's a great price. I'd would get at least 2 packs. Beats cutting down the longer ones.
