That would be yours truly. I was able to get a spring vendor to agree to
produce a spec spring for us. The manufacturer had initially passed on
the project, but they had a change in personnel and I was fortunate
enough to catch the ear of a friendly guy who after a bit of ear bending
gave the project the green light.

Close, the production date is approximately 3 weeks away.

We needed to get commitments for 25 sets at $279, once we hit quantity
50, the price fell to $239. The broker who is dealing with the
manufacturer ordered 10 or 15 extra sets made and I will be distributing
them. They will be selling at $279 per set.
