The nice thing is that you just take the bolt for the child seat out and bolt in the camera mount.  
You could even shim it for different angles if needed for different cars.  
Maybe I will make more.

1. PULLIES… under drive pullies, supercharger pullies… and something similar to the DUB pulley system
2. Pulley Pullers… very easy, very cheap, but for some reason people pay big bucks for them.
3. Caster Camber plates for anything
4. Throttle body spacers… for all make and models.
5. Anything billet will sell.

I have more…

Yeah, pullies and camber plates would be fairly easy to machine.

WHERE I NEED THE HELP IS…

Getting the dimensions of these items.  
If you guys can help me there that would be great!!!  
Again, we can work out the money thing.

Yeah it looks like $270.  
The biggest thing with products like that is volume.  
Programming and setting up something like that would take several hours.

All you gotta do is find out what standard sizes the cobra people are using for pulleys…make it slightly smaller…claim its the same size…as the others…and you will have the “magic pulley” that makes more power…

general machining…

If you have a part that you want machined for your car or whatever, figure about $60 per hour.  
Not to scare anyone away but, if you figure it should take a couple hours the reality is probably 4 hours.  
My point is we don’t have machines just sitting around all set up just for your needs.😛  
Time is money and it takes time to set up and inspect parts.  
Again, I hope I don’t scare anyone away but it is a reality for a true precision machine shop.

i happen to have a billet crank pulley for a cavalier that is not installed…  
but i would not let anyone steal the design for it…

It would make a nice ref. to start from in terms of making it a little smaller.  
I have no idea how big the unorthedox racing pulley is ☹  
thats the one I want.
