Any interest - replacement diff pins?

Hey guys -
I know that you can't buy the diff pin as a seperate part from Saturn, just as part of a kit with the spider gears and nylon bushing. Is there any interest in being able to buy the diff pin from an aftermarket source? My father-in-law runs a machine shop and is getting me a price on machining up some replacement diff pins. Not sure if they would be exactly like the OEM, but probably really close. He had some questions for me about the grooves where the spider gears spin - was trying to come up with an easier to machine design.

Any interest? Any opinions/ideas on what a reasonable price would be for the part? Please realize that I/he wouldn't be making thousands of these, but probably just a small batch.

Please let me know what you think (or even if there's another source for these).

Thanks,
Steve

find a way to make it better than stock (like using a machine screw or something else solid in place of the roll pin) and you'll likely have more customers...
