Buster1 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 Hey guys! I am making these custom spark plug trays...for WAY cheaper than the store bought versions...and they can be customized with your "N" number too! $45 shipped priority mail! ($35 for all additional trays to the same address) Easy to read numbers and letters. Stout and solid, yet elegant and smooth. Will last a lifetime! 6 cylinder applications as well as 4 cylinder versions! Check out my website, fill out the form and email it to me and I'll build and ship your custom tray! http://busterscustomtrays.weebly.com/index.html Thanks for looking. Quote
fantom Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 Shouldn't the 4 cylinder model cost less than the 6 cylinder one? Quote
Buster1 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Posted October 24, 2013 Nope, it has more wood! Actually, great question. However the prices are set as of now and the labor to make each tray is still the same (minus the time to drill 4 additional holes in the 6 cylinder version). Sanding, beveling, gluing and setting all take the same time. And the letters/numbers that are custom branded on each tray take about 3-4 minutes each. It takes time to heat up each individual letter/number. Bottom Line: the material, size and time to make the 4 cyl tray is the same. And the top may be even stronger as less material is cut away actually. Don't forget, shipping is included in the prices too! Thanks for the sharp question though. Let me see if we can discount the 4 cylinder version somehow in the future. Quote
Buster1 Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Posted October 28, 2013 So far I don't think I have sold any to Mooney guys/gals. You could be the first! Here are some from this weekend going out to a few Twin owners. Thanks for looking! Quote
Piloto Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 I have the traditional red metal carrying tray with a handle on top. The handle is a must so you can carry the plug wrenches on one hand and the plugs with the other. I would add a handle and rubber feet to yours. The rubber feet will keep the box from sliding when placed on the wing. Another feature to add would be a side pocket or compartment for plug tools. José Quote
Buster1 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Posted October 29, 2013 Thanks Jose, If you explore my webpage, you will see the 'no skid' feet. Every tray has them...great minds think alike! I looked into handles too, but the cost of materials, and time to construct was too great for me. I am building 5-9 trays a week right now to keep up with demand. But I will take your advice and continue to see what I can do for a handle as I know some folks want that option. I am also experimenting with small holes on top for GAMIs or other suitable injectors as well. Future trays may have that feature on request for those that don't want to mix up injectors. I really appreciate your advice and feedback! It helps me make a better product! So thank you! 1 Quote
Alan Fox Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 Buster , keep up the good work , your price is great , and my "cheap" ass is considering buying one..... Regards Alan... Quote
Buster1 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Posted October 29, 2013 Speaking of cheap...have you seen the CSOBeech Webpage? http://www.csobeech.com/ It's a great resource geared towards Beech owners, but it has a lot of stuff that can carry over to other birds as well. There is a huge contingent of Beech guys that are very cheap, and are constantly looking for ways to reduce the costs of flying and maintenance. I'm one of them... Quote
fantom Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 Beech pilots are cheap cause they have to be; Mooney pilots cause we want to be. 2 Quote
Buster1 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Posted November 7, 2013 Just sold 4 to Waypoint Aviation! Woot! Here they are down there in Riverside ready to go to work! Quote
Rustler Posted November 9, 2013 Report Posted November 9, 2013 Just received my new spark plug holder. I wanted something less hard-edged than metal, and this fits the bill nicely. It is well constructed of oak, and the branding is quite nice. I recommend the product. By the way, the service was top-notch. He started production as soon as the order was received 11/1, informed me on the 6th that it had shipped, and here it is today. I guess I'm old fashioned, but I like hand-crafted things when possible. Quote
Buster1 Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Posted November 9, 2013 Thanks for the order Michael! It was a pleasure doing business with you. Nate (Buster) Quote
Buster1 Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Posted November 15, 2013 Order soon guys, if you would like any for the holidays. I am getting busy (down for owner assisted annual) here in about 2-3 weeks and will be tried up most of Dec for that. Thanks! Quote
Buster1 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Posted November 23, 2013 Any more orders? Act now to ensure you get your custom tray before the holidays. Bout to be locked in the hangar in annual after T-Giving! Quote
