More CIS injector questions

I can't really help with your question, except to say that all of the CIS Porsches I work on have no cooling methods for the injectors, but actually I have a related question. Would there be any interest in reproductions of the cooling shrouds? I have one in mint condition (it's not even brittle yet!) that I could make a mold of. Price would be cheap, would have to make the mold first to figure out how much it costs me to be exact. They would be gelcoated fiberglass, and I could even gelcoat in the color of your chioce. I could do them in carbon fiber too for the same price as I have _tons_ of carbon scraps that would be about the right size.
