Message	Isn't there another way to design a simple battery tie down ? Original GZA battery tie downs offered since 2003.Here is a link back in 2003 . [ http://twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=848758 ] The copy !come on ! The Z business for the last 9 years has been more like a hobby.Pretty much all the profit was spent back towards new parts development or through some vendors. The most satisfying part is to see your creations displayed at some cars shows and in galleries all over the world.It's one of the greatest feelings. I invent & create a lot of other non Z & car related items.,aside from my regular job so it doesn't affect me that much .But I feel bad for the others that had their stuff copied. P.S. My new RX-7 in the sig :-)
