Hello Guys,

I've gotten 2 quotes so far from the 3 request I've sent out. In my view it's a bit too expensive:

Couv

From PandN:
Quantity
1 each $120.00
10 each 44.53
25 each 30.10


From Custom Components:

Quantity
1 each $591.16
5 each 129.21
10 each 74.57
220 each 24.12

Hot diggety ... that *is* pretty pricey.

Are the quotes for making the part from raw stock or are you taking a stock screw and drilling a hole in it and trimming the length.

 

[Couv]

SS....I'm not familiar with the process. I simply sent the drawing to the vendors. I'm assuming they are taking a rod of stock material and machining it; however, that is just a guess.

I have not heard back from the 3rd vendor. I will go in seach of one more, but if any of you have any sources, please attempt to make contact.

I don't feel the prices posted above are worth it. Are any of you still interested in a retainer at the quoted prices?

Not me.

Thanks, but no thanks.

I agree, a little steep for me also.

 

[Texfrazer]

For that price, we can probably pick up enough off of th'bay to suffice for everyone. Thus, that is too steep for me.

Next thing you know: the stock of older MK5's will be depleated. Better stock up now
Me, I'll stick to 35 in.-lbs with extra care.
