Gauging Interest in T56 Inspection Cover

I'm in need of a T56 Inspection cover for my LT1 T56 and they seem to be really hard to find used, and you can no longer get them at the dealership. I found a local gentleman that allowed me to borrow his to make a template. I'm going to have one Water-Jet cut from .090 aluminum for myself and want to see if anyone else is interested in these? Thanks.

UPDATED:

Have these done and ready to ship for $33.00 each

Here are pics, or see post #23:

Just a guess but I bet you could get $40 for them. I had a hell of a time finding mine.

Mine's hanging on by a single bolt. I need to get a couple more so I don't lose it...if I haven't already. I'll bet you could sell them, though.

As of right now I'm not sure on price, depends on how much interest I can get. If I only have a few made it will be somewhere in the $25-$35 neighborhood I'm guessing. The more I have made the less each one will cost of course. I'm waiting for the local water-jet shop to cut my 1st one so I can double check the fit. Anyone interested PM me and I can get better pricing once I have a few made.

I had a very hard time trying to find one when I did my A4-M6 swap. I ended using a piece of cardboard to get a template that was close and used a jig-saw and cut one from aluminum to get me by. Last week I pulled the transmission to have it rebuilt and I want to have a better looking/fitting cover so I'm going to give the water-jet route a try.

I'm looking for a t56 to swap in and most are missing this piece so I am probably up for one.

I may be interested as well. It's the only part that I could not find anywhere when I did my swap.

I will be picking up the first one tommorow and test it on my car to be sure it fits well. After that I will have better idea price wise.

Ok guys here is the pic of the T56 inspection cover test piece. I havn't been able to test fit it yet becasue I'm having my bell housing bead blasted and my powder coater has it still. Once I get it back I will post pics of how it fits, and will know if I need to tweak the fitment at all.
