Here comes update number 2 for the side marker bases. I checked with
supplier number 1 who came up with these figures. one time $6500.00
tooling charge!! and then $25 dollars a piece. Personally, I am not happy
with those numbers. I have just got my bases back and I will be checking
with several other suppliers that aren't quite so ritsy. What could speed
this up though is if there is anyone that is able to make an accurate CAD
drawing so I can e-mail this to folks instead of Fed-Exing my parts all
over the country. Is there anyone that can help? It took three weeks to
hear from one company, if I can hit a bunch with drawings that should speed
it up as well. I have leads on a couple of places that seem a little more
promising.
Thanks Again, and Again, and Again.
