I made up several sets and sent them out, only to package them wrong and our
wonderful postal system lost a few... Maybe if there is interest enough,
I'll make up a couple more sets, I have enough stock left over for probably
2-3, maybe 4 sets. Total cost was $9.25, that was for materials, packing
and postage I spent $8 on grade 8 mounting hardware which still came out
less than 1/2 the cost of the Summit spring clamps.

They didn't do a whole lot for traction, but totally killed ALL wheelhop,
which is what they're designed for anyhow....

So who else is interested??
