I always have a badly worn logo or 720 or hall effect stick in dire need of all kinds of parts, namely the upper and lower housing. Sourcing the parts has become a chore for me. I know there are still some nos parts available, but I'm not going to pay $85 for a NOS lower housing. I'm tired of waiting for someone else to make them, so I'm giving it a try myself. I've already had 4 each of the two different types of lower housing parts machined last week and they look good, fit against NOS parts and work great. I just had a chance to check them out today. I'm so stoked to see these parts! See attached photos.

I'm trying to see if there's any interest in having these parts made beyond my own use, I'm thinking via injection mold? If I can get enough interest, I can get the price down. For instance, I ESTIMATE that the final sell price of a 720/he lower housing would be around $45-50ea with at least 200 units produced. The upside is that I will be able to have more of them made anytime more is needed down the road. I'm willing to front the cost to get this done if I can get some people interested. I'm not asking for a prepayment or anything, just a show of hands. Before I proceed, I'd like to know who wants these, what type: upper housing and/or 720/he lower housing and/or assault/logo lower housing, how many of each they might want and what price range is acceptable. These can be made and I'm done waiting for someone else to do it. The molds will take 3-5 days to have made and I can have parts run immediately.
