I know it will depend on price, but is there any interest in purchasing this tool? I found one in an old brake shop (not for sale). It had a brand name and part number on it. The company is still in business, but no longer lists the part. Fellow I spoke to is going to research it, And see what he can find. Said they could probably make it again, and the more ordered the less per piece.
PS: there are twoo different sizes, 7/16, and 1/2 inch.

PPS: Tom got back to me already. He found the prints for the tool, and is going to work up a quote. The last time they made the tool was in 1984, for EIS brakes. There are actually 3 sizes 7/16, 1/2, and 9/16. As far as I know Mopar only used the 7/16, and 1/2 inch.

Keep us updated, Charlie. That's something that would come in handy around the garage, not matter what car you have.

Well they got back to me very quickly, with a quote. The good news is, they will make them. The bad news is the price, and lead time.
To order , price per piece, per size.
1 piece $433.16
2 piece $270.75
5 piece $173.31
10 piece $140.82
25 piece $121.34

9-11 weeks from order to delivery
If enough people feel it is worth the price, and want them I will handle it, but would need the money up front.

Just curious, got a picture of the tool?







(for that price, I could use up a lot of dremel cut-off discs.....)

No picture, but it looks like a "spot facing" tool with a hole up the center which goes over the stud. It is chucked into a 1/2 drill chuck.
I agree it is a lot of money. I would probably get one at $121.00, but that would require 25 orders.
