Message	Jake Wagg here. I'm currently in school to be a machinist, and was wondering if there are any new ideas anyone had to make a new useful metallic part for the Z. Something that I could cook up on a lathe, mill or a CNC machine. My abilities are limited so intricate items like helical gears or transmission valve bodies are out of the question at the time being. I can make something simple. Just for example, I've been playing with the idea on making reproductions of the titanium keys. Just ask, and I'll let you know if I am able to do it. That said, I'm not going to reproduce or copy specified items that are already on the market that were produced by small Z community-supporting businesses. For example, I will not make a copy of the 300 degree master cylinder brace. I want to help the community, not cut anyone down like a pirate. So... any ideas?
