[gregnash]

Bummer, well keep us informed Nick and let us know as things get closer to order time. Still got a load of us that want one. And definitely interested in the Gentex arm. You doing that in-house or farming out as well?

All machining is done with local shops. Everything else I take care of.

i need an insert..would prefer to have my OEM door on the outside. watching thread.

 

[mep1811]

Im still interested and hopefully with a large order the price could come down.

 

[John Staton]

be interested in hearing $$ on the high side....are we talking $50 or $150? thinking that I have spent more on lesser parts of my 60. You might be surprised what people are willing to pay.

 

[Spike Strip]

I hope they're talking about ENGINE Choices ...

Moral: If you have to ask ....

I am just talking the metal, cutting, forming. Nothing else. First quote is just stupid high. I have two more coming in that will be more grounded in reality.

Just a couple updates:

• I need someone who has a RHD 60 and/or 62 that can test fit the glovebox proto, hopefully somewhat local.

I'm your huckleberry, but you'll have to ship. Let me know if I can help out.

Shipping is fine. I literally just need someone to test fit and say it works no prob with a RHD 60/62 and send it back. Then I can move forward.

Thanks @beno , not looking for a hand out but glad to help out if needed!

 

[NLXTACY]

Nothing particularly interesting but figured I’d post it to show this is still an active project. I had the shelf anodized just to see how I like it.

I was wondering...

 

[mep1811]

nice

 

[gbogh]

Anything ever come of this? Please tell me I didn't miss it

 

[NLXTACY]

Well, bad news and worse news.

I FINALLY got the bids back from metal shop #2. The prices are insanely stupid. In fact, the prices are MORE than what I had planned on selling these kits for. Its ridiculous.

The worse news is I just got off the phone with the first shop and they said they can't honor the initial bid and to plan for 12-15% increase. Ugh.

I'm still waiting on shop #3 but its not looking good. I have been looking over the design and will make some changes based on their suggestions that will help reduce some of the product costs.

So, I haven't given up but its making me ill. Lots of time/money into this already.

 

[woytovich]

So sorry to hear this after all you have gone through to make this happen. Fingers crossed #3 comes back more reasonably and/or you can trim features/design to cut their cost.
