Custom v mount brackets

Hey my friend is looking into making some V mount brackets for the FC. Wondering if anyone would be interested in a group buy. His machining is real legit he is just curious if there will be a market. Let me know if you guys are interested or if you have ideas.

You still need all the ducting and the hood vent.

What radiator and intercooler would these brackets accept?
Would the arrangement require a vented hood or use the stock part?
What other modifications would be necessary?

they'd have to be beautifully machined and a good price for me, otherwise I'd just grab some metal and make some with the welder. and yea what clokker said, which intercooler?

Wouldn't the design need to be varied to accommodate various components? I mean not everyone is using the same parts. Your prefabbed brackets would only be compatible with the setup it was designed for, everyone would have to replicate the entire system design around the brackets.

In my opinion, it's much easier, quicker and cheaper to just weld the brackets as needed for each specific setup. That's what I did for my custom VMIC setup and it's worked out just fine. This allows you to use whichever radiator, oil cooler, fan and IC core you want.
