Anyone have or could make technical drawings of the spark plug tubes? I am looking to have them manufactured.

Yup, but if you can beat the $97 cost with shipping price point, you might sell some sets.

I knew the Aussies made a really nice set of billet ones, I am looking to have them made like the originals, stamped from aluminum sheet.

I was aware of the Aussie tubes. I had reservations about the thickness of the meterial against the head at the spark plug seat. Was concerenrd about the positioning of the end of the plug in the chamber, and the heat transfer properties affecting the heat range of the plugs.

That's a really good point. If they (or somebody else's machined plug tubes) are too thick there at that end, I wonder if they could be machined thinner.
