Mike - I still want to buy just the "Africa Plate" and hose. Can I do that?
Right now, I cannot commit to being able to sell these pieces separately. Our production of each individual component is done to matched quantities to compose full kits. We don't like to have to split things up, and we do not want to make a habbit of it, as it screws with our production, but we may be able to work something out at some point.
Contact me privately and I'll see what I can do.

Thank you to everybody who chimed in so Mike got our point about not wanting to chop up our engine covers. Many of us will eventually want to return our cars to stock when we sell, turn in our lease, or get a newer one, so keeping things stock and uncut is important.
Just had the car in here and took some measurements. No promises this will happen, but we're looking into how it will affect the costing.
Regardless, the relief hole for the shorter hose is incredibly minor anyway, and while I fully understand why everyone is asking for the longer hose, the shorter one doesn't require "
chopping" anything up and completely ruining the aesthetic of the cover. It's a tiny cut maybe 1" x 1" at the very most. You could return the car back to stock and sell it used and new owner would never really notice amidst all of the other random plastic within the engine bay.
Be prepared that the first run of kits will only be available with the shorter hose as they are likely already done and assembled in the kits.
