I was contacted by an ex-owner of a large fuel injection remanufacturing facility to gauge the board's interest in correctly remanufactured MPSs for D-Jet Systems. He says he may have a source for the Be/Cu diaphrams so they can be correctly remaned.

Target price for a unit would be in the $225 - $250 range.

Oh, and the 914 ones are not the only ones he would remanufacture. He would be doing MBs, Beemers, Volvos and VWs also.

But you would still need to recalibrate them?

I should add that I voted in the negative because I have 2 new units on the shelf.

And I guess that really isn't fair & shouldn't have skewed the poll results.

If I had a dead unit & nowhere else to turn, I'd pony up....long before a switch to carbs!

According to him, the unit does not need recalibration as long as the epoxy seal has not been disturbed, but it could be done as he has the capability. He also has access to the other seals.

I also asked him what quantity the run would have to be for the diaphrams in case they could be sold alone for those that want to tear into the units and try.

I also told him I would like to see the price in the $175 - $200 range. I've taken a few apart and there isn't that much in labor to replace the part.

If it ever comes about, I will let everyone know.

And Pat, all of the CW guys always seem to be negative (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Like my 914 brother above I have (4) new & working MPS's in my stash. Now I have to think about selling off my stash before the price crash. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

I think this is a great idea at any price. I am all in favor of this vendor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I think it is a great idea and the price is not too bad. I would think that sales on it would be pretty sporadic though.

I would prefer to just buy the diaphragms, but I will happily pay if rebuild is the only option.
