I was after a boot floor for a LH/LX as I am trying to restore my L34 back to factory. It seems Rare Spares aren't interested unless there is a demand for it. English translation is for them to make a quick buck.

Hi Guys.
I think that's a bit harsh lhsl ! It does cost money to make the mould to make a floor panel and it they will lose money unless they can sell enough units a amotise (pay for) their costs. There are no 'quick bucks' in making repro parts.

Thanks Dr Terry
I could not have put it better, most repro parts are long term and a return will take years. Tooling is expensive and this does have to be considered when making a part. We do release about 5 new parts a week on average and at any onetime

HQ doors and WB headlamps would be the ultimate idea.

Apologies if I was harsh but I just want to understand the economics of repro parts. How much does a mould cost for a floor? Let me assume it costs approx 5,000 to make a repro boot floor. Say Rare Spares offers them for a reasoable cost of around $350 th

Wether the cost you assume is even close to the real cost is irrelevant if there is no demand. The only other request for this part was in September 1998, that’s 2 in 9 years. If any other forum member think that this is a worth while part to make let us
