     All;
     
     -A few months ago, knowing what the AC air cleaner assemblies sell 
     for, I contacted one of the sheet metal suppliers our company uses. 
     
     All I'm waiting for is: 1) a sample they can use for prototyping & 
                                first-article "buy-off". This is a 
                                completely safe, non-destructive use.
     
                             2) some idea of the market need of repro.     
                                units-they would be exactly like the originals
                                in form, fit, & function.

                             3) am I just p***ing in the wind...do the Sunbeam
                                folks really want NOS, and not re-makes? If the
                                market demand was there, and the selling price
                                low enough ($100.00-to-$200.00), is this a good
                                idea?

      -Please let me know.

Hello folks,
     
I've been in contact with these folks today. I was looking for an air 
cleaner assembly for my 65 Mk I and they came up with hits VERY 
quickly. The prices that their sources wanted were a bit rich for my 
blood. However, their prices to do searches seem resonable to me 
(especially for that hard to find item). Hope that this can help 
someone in the group.
     
BTW - they say that AC air cleaner assemblies go for $400 - $700 per 
the folks that they've found who have them.
