Wow! First, I thought they were long since out of production. Now I see
they are still available, but at a pretty high price. I Have a set which I
paid $18 USD from a local speed shop, because they still had them after
something like 10 years.
I modified them a bit. I taped off all polished areas and then painted
the rest Ford Engine RED. I will post a picture of them on my web site so
everyone can see what I did. Since I still have not completed the engine,
(haven't touched it 17 years, since I don't have anything to put it in yet),
they are still unused.
I will post the picture soon.
Thanks for the feedback.
