new product (kind of)

[fergus]

ok, i supose i should let everyone in on this, as other peoples input is required lol

i have been working on a way of makeing captive hingepins for the baja, these would get rid of all e clips and make changeing suspention arms alot easyer, on one end would be a hex and on the other a nut.

but wait it gets better!! these would be made from 100% Grade 5 Titainium, so would be ultra light and ultra functional.

unfortunately at the moment i am unable to afford the minimim order amount from my suplyer for the Ti. :(

i need to know how many people would be interested in haveing a set of these as there may be a way to work things out.

im not gona lie these things wont be cheap (for me as a manufacturer or to you the consumer) but they would be well worth the cost in my opinion

Prices????

[Budmancan]

Yea any idea on price? Interested in the idea but do not want to commit until I have some idea.

[milkman]

how about a diagram on how they look and work funconality is what im interested in

[bscheidl]

I'd be interested but would have to have some kind of idea too.

[cmt56ss]

I concur with the above comments.

Any modification required? General idea on prices? How many would you include in an order, and how many do you need for the whole Baja?

[VertigoPerformance]

I don't suggest posting a photo. It may prove to be a bad business move with others looking for ideas.

[mradlin]

PM me with a price Fergus! I might be interested. ;)

[fergus]

the sets will include a total of 8 pins (the rear upper pins are already incapsulated so replacement not required)

what you would get:
replacement Ti pins X 8
aluminim washers X 16 (eliminates nut rubbing on plastic)
Aluminium nut X 8

base price would be in the region of £80 GBP ( use www.xe.net to convert to dollars)

an optional extra would be Ti nuts, these are optional as they are expensive on there own and i would like to keep the product price down as much as posible
for Ti nuts aswell would be aprox £27 extra

no modification would be required for fitment

[milkman]

well we tried to get pics LOL but any way will the nuts need to be loctited and if not will they have plastic insert lockers

[fergus]

both aluminium and titainium nut options would be niloc's.

so how many people are still interested in them now theve heard the cost?

[hndaman1]

I think I will pass, thats like 161 USD, just for some pins:(:(

[Lunar Wolf]

Atleast it serves a purpose (actually several). I could think of worse things to go and buy...

[Budmancan]

Yea I'm with hndaman, the exchange is killer. Not saying its a bad idea just the cost out of line for the benefits. When the stock pins are 60. its more then double.

[fergus]

its the same cost as a set of EDIT pins and those arnt even captive

Stock pins are cheap steel with PITA e-clips, these will be way better.
