I saw a set go on eBay the other day sell for £100.
Why would someone pay that?

Madness! But at that price there could be case to remanufacture some new ones.

Take a casting and go into production. Id love some for mine but had to fit series 3 ones due to being tight.

- Far away from you!!
If they suddenly become available as remade parts that would push the price down surely?
Is the price a ‘supply and demand’ thing?

That's true, that's probably why I'm not a successful business entrepreneur!
You could make a few and drop feed them onto the market though.

My LWB has 2 of them on, I can see I may need to fit tamper proof bolts! Next time I'm getting my ear bent over the cost I will point out that I paid £1240 for it including £500 worth of mirrors. Its an argument I always loose but you never know... Oh and its got the brass bonnet catches that are £100 a pop so its was nearly free......(and we don't mention the gearbox or engine rebuilds or chassis welding its needed so far). ps while your in that box is there a capstan?
I would love some on mine but can not justify the price. May look at making my own by welding a plate onto standard ones though. Had not thought of that.Take a casting and go into production. Id love some for mine but had to fit series 3 ones due to being tight.

I have a lovely big bits box. It never has an overdrive in it no matter how many times I look.
