Hello Group, Recently after reading a few posts regarding some aftermarket products (tailight boards, hcr angle drives etc.) i'd like to post a thank you letter. Recently, after having researched, designed and built a product for the DeLorean i would like to give a large thank you to all of those who have been designing and comming up with new products to keep our cars moving. Attempting to come up with a solution to a specific DeLorean problem is alot more work then the average owner understands. After a design or idea is created, comming up with a solution, or more specificaly a long term reliable solution is more difficult. Since our cars are produced in a small number, compared to say a corvette or other production car, products are produced in smaller quantities, and alot of vendors only like to make an item in larger quantities for profit reason. When i designed my new fan module, i cannot tell you how many plastic manufactures i talked to that would not sell boxes in amounts less than 1000 units. After you have have suitable vendors you need to come up with every idea possible how your new item is going to fail, so you can make changes so this does not happen. Personally i have tried of 22 diffrent fuse holders, 15 prototype units, 6 circuit board revisions, 42 diffrent software version of the microcontroller software, before Rob and I were happy. It really is a love affair in a since. After the above stages of development, you now have to make the part somewhat profitable, so most items we use are hand assembled, which ensure quality, but slows down production. What I am trying to say is that prices are going to be slighty high, but you are receiving what the builders sees as a quality product. Everythign single vendor out there goes through all these stressful proccess every day to bring us the highest quality products available. After building my own product i now appreciate our vendors and what they do for us. I just wanted to share this with everyon who make become unpatient with a product, or insult the way it was designed. -Shain Brannan To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
