1 the price you state is for something no longer available and does not include the belt my guess was based on a belt as well, did you ever think the ones for 200 as you stated were withdrawn because the were loosing $ on them ? 2 the ones you mention were for a B series and will not work on the AU as we all know. these will have the exciter ring required by the AU this will make them dearer than the B series ones due to the extra work and development involved 3 I originally wanted to wait till I had a price from BPT but you insisted on a price I make a guess and only a guess and you whinge 4 you obviously expected the price to be in the same ball bark as I guessed by this comment Quote:

Another member (with links to Powerbond IIRC) tried to get an EOI going a while ago and was trying to get 100 names. I think he got 3 or 4. IIRC he mentioned a development cost of something around $10,000. That over 100 units means $100 of the sale price of each unit goes towards recovering the development costs. Try that over 20 units... $500 each. So no-one's making a motza out of them. If we want this to get up we need a bit of altruism here. If 100 people are prepared to grit their teeth yet go ahead at $400, we might end up only paying say $250 given the more complex design. Every one who turns away makes it costlier for the rest.

I'll have to talk to Tim Staier and see if I can get a corresponding overdrive pulley for the blower. Then see if the next sized belt down is available here. What % underdrive are we looking at?

Have BPT given you a spec for the pulley yet? I need the diameter to give to Raptor so they can see if they have a suitable pulley & belt to drive the blower at the right speed.

I have just spoken to barry at BPT and he said it would be a 20% underdrive and the cost as a ball park figure would be about $ 350 for the pully set and $65 for the belt a firm price is to be confirmed when we have numbers
