I've already looked into making less than the 10 sets of brackets as far as my profits go and it just doesn't make economic sense.
I have to pay the CNC mill programmer a fixed rate for the Solidworks program, plus the attendent costs of material and the machine time to make the parts.
When it's all said and done, the amount of $ I'd have to charge is well above what it appears most want to pay for the brackets.
A pair of brackets that I make in large quantities for other applications go for $160 retail; for a GB I usually drop that down to $125 if I get a minimum of 10 orders.
I wish I could just make the brackets and wait for orders to come in, but with the economy being what it is I have to use my capital to make the products I sell the most of.
I will extend the deadline until the end of the week if that would encourage more participation.
I can also make the rotors available if people want to get the brackets made themselves; I use the Corrado rotors in several kits now and can easily have them machined to the proper hole size.
