Re: PJ Grady shocks...New DeLorean Parts

["dmcnorway" <delorean@xxxx>]

Language can be tricky :)
What I meant with "uses off the shelf" is exactly what you say, using 
shocks from one of the worlds shocks manufacturers, whereas DMC 
Houston's is custom made for the DeLorean. Or do you mean that Gradys 
shocks are custom made too? If so, I apologize for making a mistake.

But my point is still: Why have two DMC vendors making "their" 
shocks? Freedom of choice for us customers, maybe, but if they had 
agree to co-operated developing one "DeLorean shock" the development 
costs combined would have been much lower. Result: Cheaper shocks or 
the same price as now, only that more funds would be available for 
new projects/reproductions. In other words - it would take less time 
to produce reproductions of depleted stock/low quality OEM parts (for 
instance the AC illumiation panel) I sure would be one of those who 
would buy a quality plastic piece with the face engraved in the 
plastic and not so flimsy sticker which would crack and split the 
next day. Or how about the bracket which fasten the T-panel and 
covers the torsionbarbrackets. We've all waited very long.

I have created a poll around suggested new reproduction replacement 
parts.

Please vote - and hopefully the vendors will see what people wants!
