No Big, I'm blue collar, what I've been searching the world over for is a $500-$600 gear set! Yeah, $2k is a bit steep to say the least, although that sounds about right for a one of a kind job. For a rare $50 Caddy or Packard that might be justified but way out of line for a fairly common Chevy truck.
If a gear grinder like this would produce a run of say, 500 or 1000 units it would bring the price tag down to a reasonable value and there are a hundred vendors out there that would carry them in their catalogs. I'd bet Patrick’s would be able to unload half of them in a month or less once the word got out. Hell at $500 I'd take two just to have a spare.
I doubt if I will ever see a road gear set for the Eaton HO52 in my lifetime. I would be happy just to find an old burned out or broken Eaton 4.11 gear set from a ’69 3/4 ton just to see if one could adapt it to the HO52 carrier I’ve got on the bench right now.
However Tiny, if they have a card or address I would appreciate it if you could pick one up and post it or send one out. I would look into it. I'd like to see just exactly what they have to say about a short production run. Might even concider taking a mortgage out to finance it!
