Gentlemen,
I took the pattern to the foundry today. All seems to be well but they are going to confirm once the mould is made.
After a little sweet talking and the pattern being better than he thought it would be, I managed to get him to wave the set up cost. That's good news as it means the pintles will be £45 each for the raw casts (brass) including the lever. Much cheaper than I had hoped for.
I took two other parts to get made at the same time. The cast cover for the headlight wires from the front armour (steel) and the drain fitting for the fuel tanks (brass) both these parts will be £7.50 each.
If you are serious about wanting any of the above parts I'd like to see some money before I get them made. I hope you all understand. Please pm me and we can arrange the first order.
Once I have the first ones I will get one machined so we can get a cost for that too.
Thanks
Ben
