How many people would be interested in wing mount inserts?

One of the frustrating parts about swapping wings on our cars is having to take out the inserts from the stock wing to place on an aftermarket one. I ran into the issue of one of my inserts begging to strip internally when I tried to remove it. I tried to contact Mish_Mish to see if he was still making his but he hasnt been on in months.

I looked at his old thread(https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...-hex-bolt.html) and am going to see if I can find those fittings he used. If I can, would others be interested in having these made? Im not a vendor and this isnt a group buy, Im just trying to see if I can get this done if others want some as I think this is going to be a pain to get done and dont really feel like doing it again if I can actually pull it off.

Also, if anyone knows which adapter he started off with, that would be great.

We could probably have them made in a single piece of aluminum if you needed. I would just need one for reference to have it scanned.

Where are you located in AZ? One of them I can get out so I could drop it off to get scanned. It probably isnt a huge demand but I think many people would opt to pay 50-80 bucks for these than risk hurting their stock spoiler.

Update - BMR finished the measuring of the piece and I believe they are working on the fab now. I think they said they are a couple of weeks out on finalizing it.

Yeah, thats my understanding from the other threads. BMR did a full scan of the insert that I gave them from my wing. They are going to let me know when they have a set done so they can test them out on my aftermarket wing for fitment. Its probably going to be at least another week or two though.
