If you have dealt with a small manufacturer of car parts and accessories, please share.

I am working on a plan to help grow some of these cottage makers of car parts and such.

An example would be Banski or the Corvette Gadget man. Small companies, big product.

If you know of such a company, just post their info in here. I will take it from there.

Thanks!

It's all good. I will filter out what doesn't ultimately work.

So there are no wrong answers.

I will share my plan once I get a better idea of what the market is looking like.

I don't advertise, but I prepare and sell Hydroboosters for pretty much any make and model.

(Hydroboosters won't fit in C4s without serious firewall mods.)

A Hydrobooster is a hydraulic power brake assist unit that uses your power steering pressure system to assist the brakes instead of engine vacuum like the stock vacuum boosters use.

They are smaller, more attractive, much more efficient, and are perfect for high HP engines with low or no vacuum for accessories such as brakes.

Andy have you heard of Duraflex

hadn't heard of them, but... I doubt the material is all that "revolutionary." I suspect it is enduraflex, much like the stuff GM started using in the late 1960s, with a little enhancement over the years.

I will check into them, tho!
