we've discussed this before.
we see a part needing to be repopped.
we find a good source willing to make the correct part.
then they say minimum order is this many units and everyone runs for the hills.
not surprising when we're talking 20,000 bux to buy about ten boxes worth of exotic bolts.
we'd need either someone with lots of cash or a need for lots of those bolts.
U.S. motors could easily do the purchase .
they probably will when they run out of their own bolts unless they redesign their rod.
some day we'll finally get it together and form a buying club for high cost parts.
in other motor sports they've come across this issue and solved it by creating a buying club.
every year or so a part is selected by club members that needs to be repopped .
the club uses the pooled money to order the part and club members get the part at cost.
the excess is offered to non members with a fair profit.
all the money returns to the parts purchase pool for the next needed part.
