Obsolete part remanufacture.

Darren, thanks very much for this information.Please do keep me informed of progress as I would not like it all to fail due to lack of conmitment.

I recently had four 15/18 water pump casings made up for orders organised through Ranald. Unfortunately I probably will not be able to do it again as the tradesman who machined them out of solid aluminium is very ill.

Regards,

800 x 17 tyres. If sufficient owners could be persuaded to buy the correct tyres what would they cost? I would suggest that the price would be essential in order to persuade sufficient owners to order some. The tyres that are fitted, if they are the correct 800 x 17 must be rather old by now.
40 tyres would be sufficient for just about 6 cars if all six are changed. One would hope there might be some owners keen to replace their tyres.

I would gladly investigate the price if there were sufficient people interested in acknowledging an interest to buy if the price was right.
It would be a waste of my time and the suppliers if there were only enough buyers for 12 tyres.
As I don't know the owners of the relevant cars it might be worth contacting anyone known to require tyres and get them to contact me.

[New Dexter]

How does one investigate the number of people wishing to buy 800 x 17 tyres. Do we rely on Peter Ruifrok to canvas those listed as owning DE models? How do we establish how many owners would be keen to buy tyres?

[New Dexter]

Assuming we can persuade owners to buy 40 tyres could an idea of the price be established. I doubt if anyone would commit to buying tyres without knowing the price.

[Marcel Renshaw]

Without an indication of interest from purchasers I cannot get a price.
It's a chicken and egg situation.
An indication of interest and maximum price would give me something to work with.
Obviously I wouldn't tell the company how much they could get away with charging.
