So I am thinking about machining a front-tilt bonnet hinge kit for my modified Sprite. It’s become apparent that fabricating several kits at the same time (with an eye to selling/trading the extras) wouldn’t be that much more expensive.

If I go that route, I’d need to find one or two folks out there to “beta test” the kit for me on his or her car. In exchange for the free kit, I’d like the person to provide miniDV footage and digital stills of the install process so I could add a how-to DVD to the kit at a later date.

If you are interested, have a camera and could complete the install before June 1st, please leave a comment or drop me an e-mail message ASAP. I need to decide how to proceed.

Also, if anyone has an existing commercial kit, can you check and see if there is a patent number mentioned? I should probably check if someone would be owed royalties.
