hi all,
Thought I'd announce today we have pre girling brake drums back in stock.
Thanks to hedd Jones, we have another foundry to use.
But with pleasure there always comes PAIN.
The new rough casting is now costing us £40 a drum. Also over the last couple of years the machining costs have rissen a little. We had a small number of casting failures. So that lose also has to be added to the good finished drums.
Currently the price for new drums is £90.00 each. On our website. This was from the last production two years ago.
I don't like big price hikes, so although the price could do with being £120 each. To cover sensible profit margins. I'm going to keep them at £100 each. (For the time being).
If you see me throwing these at people at beaulieu,
It's in reply to the sucking of tongues. After all my efforts to give everyone the chance of good brakes on there cars.
Orders being taken for beaulieu.
I will also be manufacturing girling brake drums again over the next two months, if you are interested. Please keep in mind we are having to have a new pattern made. As Coventry casting lost the old one. A new pattern is £800 and has to be covered in the cost of the new drums.
any feedback is always welcomed.
Tony.
