Possible parts remanufacturing

I think this is a great idea, Dion. But perhaps it might be better for a business such as MCG to hold a stock of these items. Not everybody might want a coolant tank now, but when they do, it would be better to be able to get one off the shelf. I'm assuming your plan is just to order the minimum which would cover immediate requirements for members. But after that, what if somebody needs one?
Well done for looking into all this.

Hi Biltonjim
What is MCG
the idea was to set this up with the manufacturer in a way they would be able to reproduce on demand the parts we settle on making, in saying that making the parts on a one by one basis would be more expensive than having them made in a hit of 100.
it will at the end of the day come down to the amount of reply's of interest i get as what i do.
i wished to do this the cheapest way possible so dont want to many players getting involved as inevitably costs just go up
it seems the only product that may be worth doing is the Overflow bottle.
this does require a mould to be made so with this kind of investment it wont be for a few and once they have done then the mould will be still with them should further bottles be required , however it may be on a basis of you get 10 people and they will make that amount, i have come across this with guys doing one off things in the Ducati Forum im on, it does not suit everyone to wait until a order can be filled but it does keep the cost down.
im hoping they will be able to let me know by the end of the week what some items will cost to make, and on what basis etc.

as per Stan's suggestion, I would think the tank-badge mounts must also be top of the list, as they seem to be non-existent and a smaller simpler part.

my Tank badges are painted black
how did they come from Factory please
where they all just plain plastic,(Black?) or chromed
Cheers

Remembering all the photos I have seen they were all chrome, and my guess is plastic.

Correct. Chromed plastic.
