Re: Interest in aluminum hub knobs?

I’d be interested in a set as well if you do ever make more.

Thumbs up Re: Interest in aluminum hub knobs?

Well I will give you guys the short version... The friend of mine who actually makes them for me won't make less than 10 sets because of the set up time. He prefers to make 20 sets at a time again because of the set time, especially for the 1/2 ton ones. The 3/4 ton ones are a lot faster to produce. Anyway, coming up with the cash to pay for the product then paying for anodizing was putting me in a bind sometimes. Yes I would get my money back but it took a while sometimes. So I was basically a shoestring operation. I'm definitely not sorry that I did it. And I believe there are many satisfied customers. And whenever I take my truck to a show that is one the questions I'm always asked where did I get those hubs from. I have recently been in contact with someone else who is considering making them. So stay tuned

Keep us posted on it. I know there’s a market but I totally get why you aren’t doing them for now.
