OK, at long last, I have some pricing to share. Let me start off by saying this is not cheap! That said, what I am doing here is building parts that are 100% identical to the original BRP parts.....in fact, they are to the original BRP drawings. And they will come with the original BRP instructions, and every bit of stainless steel hardware needed for the job. Basically, if BRP would still sell these, this is exactly what you would get from them.
Also - Let me state that I am absolutely, positively, not in this to turn any profit whatsoever. Nothing, nada, zilch. I'm throwing this out there somewhat like a "group buy" opportunity, so as to get the price down for all of us. What I get for doing this is to get my own cost down, and also get to help some of you fellow C180 owners. Tomorrow I will post up my spreadsheet showing how I came up with the costs. Open book. You can see that it is worth our while if at least 3, or even 5 of us would do this. But it's still not real cheap any way you look at it.
That all aside, the costs go like this:
- If I were to only do one kit for myself, and nobody else, I am looking at spending $857.57. OUCH!!!
- If I build one set for me, and two sets to sell, the kit cost comes down to $611.07, and that would be shipped USPS
- If I were to build one set for me, and four sets to sell, the kit cost comes down to $562.63, shipped USPS.
Again, tomorrow I will post up the spreadsheet showing what is what. I will say the main cost driver in this all is the two billet CNC mount parts. If someone knows of a good machine shop to do this, let me know and I will get the prints to you to quote.
If anyone hasn't fallen out of your chair on sticker shock and are still interested, please let me know. Not a firm commitment yet, but just tell me what you think.
Thanks,
Kevin
