hey mate how much to make me one if you can?? i think there would be a great market for them as most people have there ones dummied up to look like they work they are so hard to find and when you do find one they want stupid money for them i know i could just put a ht-g heater box in my car but i wanna keep it original the cores are no problem to get done its just the tap thats the problem i cant believe no company has done one yet

i'll send you a email, sounds like i should make some more, there's a fair amount of work in making them so they won't be cheap, but they won't be anywhere near expensive as a NOS one!

'Expensive' is a relative term. What is cheap to one person is 'expensive' to another. There is definitely a market, what is the cost ?

If there is anyone out there keen to reproduce the HK heater tap... I have a NOS tap and 2 good working second hand taps to use as reference examples..
I also have a NOS Heater Box and a NOS Drain Tube... so a complete kit could be reproduced if someone had the right contacts...
anyhow... if anyone out there wants to contact me just PM me on here and I will give you a call..
cheers
Al

i'd expect the price to be around the $50-$70 mark at this early stage, i'll have to work it out a bit better once i start making them i would like to keep them affordable, no point in being gready, that helps no one what sort of $$$ do you think would be fair?
