Originally posted by hamonbagel: Those that are interested in the sunroof gear project, here is an update...
I should have a test sample in my hands in about two weeks. The molds are cut and are getting their final tooling. The gears will be made out of Delrin which is much harder than the OEM. I will mail out a couple of these to the folks that lent me their gears and they can test them for a week or two. I will be looking for honest critiques (sp?) Don't hold back. I can't do things right if you don't tell me what you really think. If all goes well, I will make an initial run of the gears and be ready to offer them to all who would like them. I am still targeting $65/gear. If you want to buy 10 of them, that is still the price. As you all know this was not an easy project and I have been working on it for about two years. You can try me but this one I will not bend. Just to let you know, the molds for this one are running in the $15K range. This is just the metal to make the gears. This doesn't include the machine and the rest of the support it takes to turn them out.
I will post again when I am ready to take orders. Please don't email me yet. I already have the three people I will be sending the gears to.
Thanks all

AWESOME JEFF!! I was starting to wonder if my lonely sunroof motor that you have was being held hostage. Can't wait to get it back and critique the hell out of it. Good work my friend, there's been SEVEAL people PM ing asking if I was the one getting this done... which of course it's not, but be prepared for a SLEW or people.
