First:
I have searched high and low and cannot find the OEM replacement bolts for the track extension:
https://www.viperpartsrackamerica.com/index.php/products/2008-2010-dodge-viper-srt10-acr-track-extension-kit-68050015ab
8 Bolts across on the vehicle side, it's an M6x1.0x12mm bolt I believe, 10mm head, 8.8 hard. I can find generic flange bolts locally but I want the OEM version with the wide flange/washer. Does anyone know of a link to purchase this direct replacement?
Second/Random:
The track extension/rub strips and a few other parts on the car are basic 2 dimensional milled objects. Most new pricing I've found for these items is between $600-850 per kit. I have a large 4 axis mill ... are there enough people on this forum that need these or want replacements/extras? Dodge is absolutely ripping us on that price, I could make exact replacements for $200 all day.
Minus the bolts of course. Because I can't find the darned bolts!
Maybe if enough people are interested I'll go ahead and trace mine, test, and mill out a full sheet (should be at least 20 sets) and post the purchase info in the parts section.
If there are any other 2 dimensional parts that you might think are outrageously priced, let me know. 2 dimensional milling is easy, I do it all day, and I think we'd all be happier if keeping things clean and new got cheaper :) Makes us all look good!
