Vendors, Builders, Speedo gears

[jakeshoe]

I'm looking at making 10 tooth speedo gears. Possibly 11 tooth in the future.

I got a ROUGH estimate today on getting the mold made and making the gears.
Initial costs (mold) are high but the gears are relatively cheap.

I want to know what the overall interest is and how many gears any of you guys would be willing to buy in bulk.
I'll probably also talk to BTO, PATC, and others.

I've been able to get GM gears but I believe the supply is about to dry up and the cost is already high.

I'm looking at less than $20 per gear total after the first run. Probably run 100 on the first set.

I'm surprised no one is interested.
I know of at least 3 builders who need these things on a constant basis I have at times supplied new or used speedo gears to.

I guess $40 per gear for a supply that is about to dry up is acceptable.

I can make the 1st hundred gears for less than the GM gears and after that they would be stupid cheap comparatively.
