More CIS injector questions

[Cody]

Yeah, of the 4 5ktq's that I've owned and of the other 3 or so that I've seen in my life (they are'nt exactly common in south florida), I've only seen 1 un-broken shroud. Honestly the price shouldn't be too bad, I'm guestimating $40 +/- $10 maybe. Like I said, about the carbon ones, I have TONS of scrap carbon pieces that otherwise either get thrown away or tossed into a big bin that basically just collects dust so the carbon ones wouldn't be any more $ unless I run out of scraps which isn't likely anytime soon.

If anybody has any interest let me know, because my descision will be based on the ammount of replies I get. So far 2, I'm looking for like 10ish which would be enough to make up for costs of the mold.
