Thanks wiggs. Interesting again. That's a good sales figure. I don't think one would do something like this to make money, but I'm sure the Ducati thing is something else for us. I'd be happy to make one for myself and whoever else wanted one, even just a few, and cover costs.

I'm sure most buckles are cast - sufficient strength would be easilly attained. The look, feel and finish would be the determining factor for the process. I have more thinking to do on this, and tooling is also an important consideration.

Good to hear you have found another home for the Cagiva.

How long before you hear about the job?

morning skins,
we took bonneville,our newest puppy, to the vet wed to get "fixed". we got her back home yesterday. she's a pistol,has been since the day we got her. she's part lab and part chessapeak bay retriever ,9 months old now. the vet even said she's a handfull! she has 5 "brothers"(all lab mix) here at the house and doesn't give them a moments rest,like i said,she's a pistol. one of the boys still has his seeds so it was imperative that we get this done b-4 we have more dogs,like 6 isn't enough?!
anyway, i slept on the floor last nite beside her cage just to let her know we love her and in case there was a problem. i didn't want to wakeup 2-day and have to dig a hole. coulda bought my paso and then some for the money we spent on duke's 2 knee surgeries but that's another story. so i wake up from the floor and read your post thinking what the hay is he talking about?!?!?!?!??? then, as i become alittle more focused i see i've made it to the next level. thank you for the congrat's (now that i know what it is for!).

Wiggs - I know what your mate is on about - there tends to be 4 things I don't let other people use - the bike - my ute/'Cruiser, chainsaw, or Mrs.......... :umm:

Another MG owner? I had a '68 MGBGT for a while. My Dad has a '63 / '72 ('63 engine transplanted into a '72 body) that's just coming back to life ...
