Great work. Thank You!

Jeff, if you are willing to share the CAD drawing, there is a site eMachineshop.com that anyone can upload to and their software will price it, for 1 or 10 or 50 copies. Another click or two and they build it so you can buy it. Getting just one will be expensive, but in my example, 5 to 10 pieces was very reasonable. Someone could organize a group buy...

I designed an extension for the Gen 2 adjustable pedals that quickens (and stiffens) the clutch pedal and their quality and speed is very good. (The only error was mine, but I'll have that corrected shortly.)

FWIW,

I purchased a cam sensor for my Gen III from a local auto parts store off the shelf. The sensor is shared with other Dodge/Chrysler vehicles, and is available easily...I believe it was a from a Ram truck.

Is it the same one used on gen 2's? If so a pic and and a part # would be nice...

2005+ uses a different sensor than the '96-'04. The '05+ sensor is cheap and commonly available.

I'd forgotten about eMachineshop. I had them estimate a project for me several years ago. At the time it wasn't cost effective, but this bracket is so small and simple that it shouldn't cost too much.

I've uploaded the files to GrabCAD. You'll have to sign up to download them, but I couldn't find anywhere else to put them without signing up someplace new myself. One copy is in Solidworks 2012, if you can't open that, I also uploaded it in the more universal STEP format. Because the STEP file is a "dumb" solid, it doesn't have the hole threads called out. The hole should be tapped 10-24. Anybody is free to make as many as they want for personal use, or if you want to have a batch made for your club or something. I only ask that you don't sell them for profit, just enough to cover your costs.

*disclaimer: I haven't actually physically tried the CNC bracket yet, but all the dimensions are pulled from my original "at home" bracket so it should fit just fine.

BRAVO well done Sir.
