All:
FWIW, I have a designer/Engineer/mechanical-genius friend that has his own small machine shop looking into repro hood molds. A guess at this point is that the mold will cost "several thousand dollars." This is all pie-in-the-sky right now, but we could do it, and have inserts where the logo would be, and make some "no-logo" ones and/or "CR" ones. They won't be cheap, that's for sure.
Anyone with similar rubber molding experience, please feel free to e-mail me off-list with any advice you might have.
Please stay tuned for further announcements.
