Any chance for some wider than stock flares?
If you made a set of 9"/11" i would be all over them! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Having said that, i might just bite the bullet and get some of yours and cut them and add a 2" strip ...

I was going to suggest that very thing. see if you can get your hands on one and bring it to a metal shop...I suspect you can get a 2 inch strip in there without a whole ton of work...its got a straight section near the top that might make is easy.


Oh, And three, the number of the counting shall be three

Just buy two sets and make one wide set out of them.

OK guys,

For those of you that don't know anything about making parts, after you pay for the tooling, there is a little thing called a set up charge. For the first parts, the set up run is included in the tooling cost.

However, should you want more parts, the set up charge rears it's ugly head. What is a set up charge? It's a fee to schedule mold/press time, a raw material charge to order the steel, labor to set up the tool in the press, and so on.

Then the molder/stamper charges a fee for each set of parts. Order a small number of parts, and the costs are very high. Order a lot of parts, and the cost goes way down. Ran into this recently for springs. Order 5 and they are about $20 each. Order 12 or more, and they drop to $9.50. Or, for $120, I think I got 50 or 60.

I think he's trying to get us to pay for the set up charge, and to lock in a larger quantity for the same price. In return, we get a chance to buy the parts at a reduced rate.

Everybody wins.

Now if I only had a job...

I too am interested, but like the other it's all about the $$$. Problem is I don't plan on putting them on any time soon, so they would sit on the shelf for a year or more.

...



I think people understand that cost will vary according to quantity, but they still need some kind of idea before they can know if they would be interested or not. How about some some ballpark numbers at various quantities? What range might they be if ten people commit, vs 20?
