Long subject line I know, but I want to be clear.  After making the
first 3 sets of prototypes I am now evaluating the need/market for these
parts. They are the internal plastic push rod for MK IV, 1500 and GT6 MK
III for starters.

It started a couple of weeks ago when someone on the list commented that
you can't buy this part separately.  So I looked at all the catalogues,
and sure enough - complete door handles up to $82US, but no push rods.
It made me ask myself "What are people doing to repair these?"  I've got
2 broken sets for starters.

After much time invested in making drawings, templates and jigs, I
turned out 3 sets that work perfectly and will never break again.

Now I need to know from listers - what do you think the market is for
these things?  What would they be worth (I know what they cost in time
and effort).

Appreciate your input listers.

Cheers, Fred
