Anyone considered reporducing the scratch plates?

Seeing the cost on evil bay is so high does anyone this would there be any offshore manufacturers interested?
Would certainly consider if they were a little more affordable.

A couple of people have tried reproducing these - there are lots of issues. A complex pressing and the fact that not only are all 4 different shapes but tab heights are different as well.
All makes up to being VERY hard to get right.
