Carrying this over from the "Open Forum" because I am not sure who sees what.
Cost Estimate to make more hi-speed rear axle gears for '30s Hudsons and Terraplanes:
Well, here's the quote for US made gears in 2013 dollars. Based on my English made 3.5:1 ratio gears which I sent to Texas at my expense for the quote. As you can see, for ten sets with a share of tooling costs added to the unit cost, we are talking about $1200 per gear set
plus shipping cost with nobody making mark up for putting up the cash or handling the whole deal. So its time to sign up and lets see how many hands are up wanting to do this.

Okay... To move forward with having these gear sets made, please email me and I will get a list of names and addresses for the order. I will be asking for a $600 deposit from each of you. I am not prepared to put up the entire 50% deposit cost to get going. Pass the word to anyone else you think might be interested so we can include them. Will report back with a count. Don't send any money yet!
