[urq] Ur Quattro Odometer Gear Group Purchase

[Ben Swann]

Greetings QPhile,

I was finally given a quote to have this gear produced.  I need to have at least 7 committed buyers at $40 + shipping to have this gear done.  

This gear will be an exact replica of the original nylon gear for an '83 Ur Quattro, but made of brass.  I am not sure what other years apply.  The gear is being made out of brass and would not split as the nylon gears are prone to do.

The speedometer is VDO W=1600 857 190,  The brass gear being made will replace the worm driven pinion gear located on the end of the pinion shaft.  This gear in turn drives the pinion shaft it is pressed onto.  The pinion shaft in turn drives a gear located ajacent to and turns the enumerated gears that mark the vehicles mileage.

As I have already committed significant time looking into having the gear fabricated, I don't mind following through with doing multiple copies.  I would like make sure I will be able to recoup my up-front costs, so  wish to get a deposit up front of $10/gear before committing to the manufacturer.  I won't collect any deposits until I know for sure and get a timeframe from the manufacturer and feedback from all that are interested.  From the prior responses I received, it looks like I will have enough buyers to see this through.

For now, just reply back if you definately want one (or more) or not.

Thanks,

Ben
