KDP Tab Fix

Hey guys. I drew up a drawing on the computer of a KDP tab that you could use. I got the dimensions and shape from this website: http://dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/Dowel_Pin/tab.htm<br>I made it to scale but it just doesn't seem big enough. Now maybe I am wrong but I dont know. Here is a picture of it. It should be to scale and if you think its too small by the dimensions or whatever let me know. Also I will be making a few of these. If anyone would like one let me know and I will try to get it out to you. You may have to pay for shipping or something. So let me know if you want one.

Oh yeah and by looking at it on your monitor or printing it, it seems to be to scale but I am not sure. Anyway there ya have it.

I made my tab using those dimensions. The tab completely covered the dowel pin.

I guess my diagram works! Cool. Even though I did take the dimensions from that website, I still drew up a cleaner diagram!

Several diesel performance sources (TST and PDR to name two) are selling KDP tabs. It's a shrinking market with plenty of large competitors, I don't think I'd bother.
