I have been talking with Mark (Mikey914) about making the NLA E-brake cable boot p/n 914 424 592 00. Would anyone else be interested in a new pair of boots?
Mark would be making the parts. He told me a rough turnaround would be 4-6 weeks for the mold and the first parts. This would be an exclusive run at my request. I would be selling/shipping the boots to you. Here is a picture of the boot. Most are either torn, broken, paint spattered, brittle or missing all together. A separate GB thread will be created in 3 weeks. Keep signing up to reserve a pair for you! |

Just wanted to update everyone on where we are in the process.
Mikey and I are going to look at all the quotes for injection molding the boots and come to a decision based on the information contained in the quotes. The longest "waste" time period in this was getting the quotes from the various injection molding manufacturers, but I anticipate things moving a bit faster after a manufacturer has been chosen. By going the injection molding route, this lowers the overall tooling cost per boot, substantially lowers the rubber cost per boot (less waste) and more boots can be made to tighter specs. Don't worry, it still looks like these boots will be available for Christmas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) |
