Ross, I'm not sure what the legal requirements are, but if you were to talk to teh people at O.E.M., they may be able to answer that as long as you arent going to infringe on their domain. I can see a need for reproduction parts that aren't available now. A couple that come to mind would be the oil breather cap for early model "A","B", and "C". the ones I see as reproductions are no where near what the originals were like. Another may be coil covers for H4 Mags. These things, however, require expensive set up and mold costs so you'd have to pick an item or items that there is a need for and yet is cost effective to reproduce. Someone with a screw machine could have a small cottage industry by reproducing dot head bolts of various configurations, as so many of the originals are not worth cleaning up and reusing. I see them going on E-Bay (used) for nearly twice the cost of the same bolt from the hardware store, plus shipping. The point is to define a need, fill it legally and economically with a quality product.
