Just wondering about Mako parts pricing in the USA. The price on Mako parts in Canada are crazy, to give you an example a first stage piston and pin with rings for a 5405 model is $1400.00 Canadian. This is the same first stage piston that Bauer uses in Mariner and sells for around $500.00 and the same one Lawrence Factor sells as an after market piston for around $300.00.
Years ago I was trying to get a forth stage fitting that had the drillings for a temp switch so I could install one on a 5407 model. They quoted on a straight 1/4in. NPTM to 1/4in. JIC . This same fitting at the Parker Store is $1.95, through Compair Canada it was $54.95 I finally got the correct fitting through Compair and it cost me $160.00.
Ordered a Panel mounted CO monitor once, $3600.00, was shipped only the CO cell and display, no calibration hardware, no wiring diagram, no panel. I shipped it back and ordered an Anolox CO Clear for a few hundred bucks.
I would love to find a Mako parts source in the USA that I could work with and stay clear of Compair Canada. Just trying to get a quote from them on parts is hard and when you do get it you better be sitting down becouse you know it's going to be a shocker.
