Hi all
This is just a tentative message to try and "gauge" your interest in the supply of the rear light clusters for the M100. I have found a supplier here in France who is willing to develop and manufacture the rear light cluster for our M100s. The possible options would be:
- the complete unit (minus the "rubber" bulb holders and the silver-coloured Zamac screw-on plate). Price 600€/unit 1190€/pair
- the 4 plastic lenses (1 clear, 1 orange, 2 red) at 180€ for the set of 4
- the rear black plastic support (minus the zamak plate and the "rubber" bulb holders) That black part plate area would initially be painted in chrome for reflection of light (a chemical process could be developed at a later date) 190€/unit.
- the outside "perspex" protective cover 250€/unit 480€/pair
His initial productions would focus on the outside protective cover (most prone to damage).
The supply is naturally contingent upon a minimum "group purchase" order of 20 pieces. An advance for mould development/realisation would be requested. A delivery time of approx. 2 months following the order is announced.
Prices are, I concede, fairly high, but if numbers were sufficient pehaps a better price could be negotiated. In any case, nobody else has proposed these units up until now. For UK buyers, the exchange rate is for the moment (pending Brexit!!!) more favourable.
We're a long way off for the moment, but this may well be a solution to solve our "spare parts" problem. I've also been thinking about the black plastic edging above the light cluster, but haven't asked the supplier yet.
Anyway, let me know whether this could be of interest to you.
