I have been interested since the start of this idea, brilliant! I am still in for a full set.

First response after quite a wait time:


"""Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.... These screws are too complex for our standard screw mfg line. These would have to be machined... the pricing is going to be very high on these... maybe $50-$100 each."""

Each kit or each bolt? :confused:
 
each bolt. :eek::eek::eek:


good news - i found another manufacturer, he said he could get me a set for ~80 - ~90 bucks.

($90 if we get 10+ sets together, $80 if we get 20+ sets together)

lead time would be around 20 days.
Wow, sounds awesome!
USD 80.- to 90.- for a set of ten special Titanium screws, that's a really great price!!!! Still in.
 
ok, i was assuming that would have a positive resonance here. ;)

not sure how we shall handle the payments, i have already verbally placed the order, however, not sure of their payment terms.

i suggest for you guys here:

if you're in for a set, make a down payment of $50 (per set - if you need more sets) - when i have the final cost and the parts here for shipment i will announce it here and add shipping costs, depending on location.

does that work for you all? that would give me the assurance of the total sets and contribute to the cash flow for this project - paypal is email below:
 
Ok, that indicates to me that we should be able to get to 20 sets.

I will keep it all in this thread, don't want people to commit for the 3rd time ;)

as said, paypal deposit to this email address below will get you a definitive spot and as well rank you in the shipping order for the set.

thanks,

Phil
 
Phl,

Can you tell us what your design looks like, what the material is, and if you have any pics of the bolts?

designed based off Gecko's specs, material is Titanium Ti-6Al-4V , typical for fasteners

each bolt is cross-drilled at the top for safety wire.
a set consists of 10 bolts, 6, standard and 4 thread insert ones (with the thread in the head)
