Re: The manufacture of valve springs...

As I said I am interested in getting into the manufacturing/supply arena

Just staying current with availability of NOS and NORS and parts currently in repro is a significant task. Were I looking into getting into the repro parts business (and I'm not), I'd start by making of list of:

1. Parts not currently in repro where NOS or NORS is drying up, or has already done so,

2. Parts which were in repro years ago but are no longer available (and there are many), and

3. Parts where current quality is an issue,

and then studying the demand or market for such parts, the manufacturing complexity, and what kind of pricing the market would support for such parts.

Perhaps asking the PackardInfo audience to start compiling a list of such candidates would be a good place to start.
