So,$52.50 for a piece of shelve bracket and some hi speed plastic? Supply and demand I guess. I will give em credit for coming up with it and not ripping off someone else's idea like so many others in this game.That I can respect. So,$52.50 it is.

 

Ok, you got me. What the hell is that?

Delrin chain sliders; when you convert to chain drive the chain can contact the passenger peg bracket and the inner primary and chew them up. Using these the chain contacts the delrin blocks instead.

Sounds like that $52.50 is well spent, to me

 

Delrin is machined like metal, so I guess you're paying for the machinist's skills, and pass through costs on equipment. I don't think the material alone costs all that much. Still, specialty parts will leave you with a sore ***

 

These delrin door blocks for Miata are around $50... Must be a magic number.

 

$2.50 for materials and manufacture, $50 for product liability...

 

I have access to a couple of different mills sounds like i need to start making some of these puppies and selling them for 25 ha.

 

R&D costs get pretty expensive before these things finally hit the streets.....
Ya wonder why meds are so expensive?
10 years in the making before they sell ONE!

 

I do custom welding and fab. and some times customers don't under stand why it cost so much to make something so simple. If you only knew how much time it takes to make something work and look good, plus the machinery, plus the materials and a pile of junk AKA proto types. I would say make it yourself and see if it is expensive.

 

Make 'em your self, then you'll find out if it's expensive!
