Default What are the legal ramifications of copy-Casting a Manifold from >>
Dahlback or a Del Rio manifold without the logos.

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a patent on the manifold design and if it's legal for me to manufacture manifolds similar in design to the ones mentioned above.

Thanks

Default Legal aside, you're not going to make any money on this. You can't advertise that you've done
this, so you're not going to get much money for your knockoffs.

Default Is it just me, or has there been a rash of this type of thing lately?
I'd say that doing one for yourself is one thing. Mass producing and selling them, well, that's a whole different (and probably not too kosher) thing.
