I'm sure it could. However, much like Cathar, if I have enough interest and I make some up for sale, it would NOT be to make money... at all. Not enough volume to be foolish enough to think so. Heck, if someone else (Swifech, DD or whoever) made these before I did, I would not have had to. Luckily, I just got off the phone with Legris, the nickel plated brass plugs that were $3.48 at mcmaster are $.60 from a Legris dist. Waiting for a call to absolutely confirm that though. The machinist is supposed to call me within 2 hours for his cost. Hopefully I can have these made so I can get them to people for a reasonable price.

As far as casting, I don't trust it, I dont like it. Cold forged or pressed ok, but no casting. Too much could go wrong.
