Urethane Suspension Bushings

["tmpintnl" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Hello List - 

I just talked to the company that produces urethane suspension 
components for OEM and aftermarket applications. Bad news ... they 
are somewhat focused on their 'bottom line', and will require a 
substantial order base before they would be able to proceed. They 
have no existing parts that could be readily adapted to our 
application. The required part quantities range from 1000 pieces for 
the trailing arm bushing to 3000 pieces for the upper control arm 
bushings. Also, we would have to absorb tooling charges for tool 
development, which would amount to about $7500 or so for all parts. 
Obviously, unless some of the major DeLorean vendors step forward with 
an interest in this program, individual owners do not have the 
resources and/or power to make this happen through this particular 
company. I will approach another company with the same proposal as 
soon as I get my samples back. If the various vendors are monitoring 
the List, and would like to comment on this, please feel free to speak 
up. At some point, the stock of OEM parts will be depleted. We will 
need some options when that day arrives. Tally ho!
