Well, I have the ballpark figures... Tooling $1000 to $1500 then about $23 each in quantity 100. Making a double thickness (2-ply) would presumably double the unit cost to $46 and shouldn't affect the tooling. So... I'm going to try to get the tooling down to the low end and see what the fewest I can produce is... I expect I'll be selling them below $100. It seems that the worst case cost will be about $76 each, assuming making 50 2-ply and $1500 tooling ($30 tooling and $46 per unit). Price to quattro list members will be $76 (for a 2-ply or 2 1-plys depending on what is made). WA state folks have to pay sales tax since I'll put it thru my currently dormant business. I get a tax deduction this year (unless I sell them all)... Stay tuned for wastegate spring analysis. Orin.
