Following an enquiry, and having borrowed a pattern from Marty Dolomite, it transpires we can get some subframe mounts for the 1300 FWD remanufactured from a single billet of EN8 grade steel. I have to do a couple of drawings for them before getting a quotation, but once the machine is set up there is an economy of scale dependent upon how many we have made.
So, what interest would there be?

That Marty guy is a bloody decent chap for loaning you a rare part

Re: Remanufacture of 1300 FWD Subframe Mounts
I've now done the CAD drawing and received a quotation from the engineers. There has been interest expressed for 12 units, so I asked for costs for a run of 12 and a run of 20 in EN24T steel to give the requisite tensile strength to the threaded part. At 12 units, the cost per unit would be £66 plus VAT and at 20 units it reduces to £60 plus VAT. (A pair would be two units) These are the net quoted costs without any mark up whatsoever or postage costs; obviously at 20 units there'd need to be an overage to cover the 8+ units which would 'sit on the shelf' until sold.
So, how much interest sustains now that the costs are known?
