^^ I know I wouldn't even touch that for a one off part for under a grand. And that's to get started. I'm charging $100/hr to work on other projects and this would be a few hours of figuring out how to make and hold it (assuming I had a 5 axis and knew how to use the thing).
Some of those things that already exist are dirt cheap for the effort it would actually take to make one.

The original plan was to work on it with a manufacturing student to do as a capstone project. Either him or I would do the toolpathing and our school has a 5 axis mill that can make it. So it's definitely not a normal situation for me. I just don't have the time right now for this to be at the top of my list.

Can of one of you guys print some of these for us from plastic or alum (or steel if it's cheaper)? This is the "new" way their measuring section width of a tire, in this case 275's. The legs need to be 30mm tall from the surface. So this slides over the tire, inflated, mounted on whatever rim the driver chooses and the surface sits "flat" while the legs go down 30mm along the sidewall. Basically if it can't sit flat, then you've gone past the appropriate size and get DQ'd. They also have them for 226 and 257mm.
