mate,,,, what ever people charge we need to look at WHAT OTHERS SELL THEM FOR !!!
i work for one of the BIGGEST exhaust distributers in the country and so i get to know what others pay for them
150 quid is alot,,,, if a company is selling them them and there SERIOUS then i can get them made in batches for a decent amout of cash
they could be sold at 80 quid for a profit,,, though i doubt these companys belive it working for a 35% margin i guess
rick would yopu like me to supply you with 4ins dimeter pipes of mild steel in 2 meter lenths,,, less than 30 quid too mate
stainless ok thats more cash i agree,,, but if you buy it right its not a issue
my boss started hes business in his dads shed back in the 70's and selling them at hes prices hes built up a business of over 16 branches and STILL growing and hes never turned up for work for the last 5 years
imagine if he had people who was willing to pay that for them
ok things are worth what someone is willing to pay,,,, but i NOW know what things cost to make,,,, mlr head gaskets less than 10quid
cossie headgaskets LESS THAN 5 QUID !!!
the cossie headgasket costs the same to make as a vauxhall cavalier,,, they are made at 500 orders at a time and one of em sells for 13 quid the other at 75 quid
the rover K series head gasket cost in total over 3 million to redesign over time to solve the problem with them,,, due to that its a very expensive gasket and sold for 90 quid with the extra shim
how much is wrc one,,, made of the same material
sorry but we are being ripped of people
thats why the vaux boys do better than us at totb,, the price of parts is alot less !!!
