After looking over the protractors, it seems that it would be possible to make a set without too much difficulty. Just curious as to whether there would be any interest in reproducing these tools.

One of the long time members Milt AKA Zeke undertook this project several years ago but abandoned the effort after concluding the it was not feasable. Here is his latest thread on why he abandoned the effort (post # 5). I'm sure there would be interest if you could figure a way to make these accuartely and at a reasonable cost. Since Porsche concluded that the protractors were not necessary way back in 1972 (post # 32), I don't think anyone would be willing to pay more than a couple of hundred dollars max for copies. Just my 2¢.

P.S. Are you the guy that bought the NOS set that sold on eBay in the last few weeks?
