Mazda Seal Case replacements...any interest in a new design?

Is there any interest in me making a revised version of mazda's hard seal case? It would be made of wood and CNC routed/lasercut . I could make the design available on one of the CNC sites like ponoko and you could make them from cardboard to birch or i could make them myself with slight assembly cost.

I have a version I created where you can store all of the hard seals in a tray including side, corner apex and springs to stay organized and keep them all in the right spots later if needed.

I am sure i can match/beat the price for mazda's OEM style box.

but would anybody even want one?

You'd better run this through InternetBrands if you decide to sell this item on Forum.Any produced parts being sold on here goes through the Vendor Process,so you would need to establish a Vendor's permit to sell items such as you are suggesting.
I hail your initiative but advertising pays the bills so people can use the site freely.Besides, other vendors would be tearing the Web up with Complaints if you tried to sell here without a Vendor Status.
Support the site,help the members,you sell,they buy..everybody wins.

Nice design, just needs a number for the apex seal slots and corner seals. Can't tell where they go.

I did something very similar with cardboard and blue painters tape when I was doing my last rebuild.
