Does anyone know anyone that does injection moulding?? I want a clear cam cover, maybe we could do a group buy??

do you have any idea of the tooling costs for the mould?

I know someone, they guy cutting my rear sub-frame bushes

its too expensive, to give you an idea, to make a simple seat (like the ones used in school) costs them R45K to produce the first sample... The mold development takes a long time and is very costly.

yup - i thought that injection molds were expensive. gary i know someone who knows someone in that business but its probably just not worth it for a clear CA cam cover!!!

Oh shit is it that expensive??? I really didnt think it was that much, since rubber moulding is fairly cheap (2 engine mounts = R450).

Its a pity cause I think it looks so good with vernier cam gears, cutting the cover just looks shit.
