We will be making a rear trunk lock repair kit that replaces the rubber base, the outter bezel and the lock button. It will allow you to use your lock (no re keying) to make the one you have look brand new.

Who's in?

Great idea, what a coincidence that Sierra Madre and AA just started selling this exact product from URO yesterday: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=321825

We will actually machine these from steel not pot metal. This is what pot metal does.
If we polish and plate the steel it will be a much better product. It is possible we to make in stainless, however it will drive the price up, as material is much more expensive in the correct alloy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Materialwise yes stainless is of course more expensive than mild steel.
Machining wise the cost should be the same if you use a good machinist, they're both "soft" materials.
Where they differ is the finish, the stainless can be just polished to an ok surface or a brushed satin look where the mild steel needs to be chromed.
The chroming process should be as expensive as polishing the stainless if not even more expensive weighing up some of the added stainless material cost.

This is the sort of stuff I do on a daily basis as my profession, good luck Mark. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The machining will not be an issue as we have our own shop, the 304/5 machines much easier, but will be best if we do 316, a little harder but will not brown. One of those, if your gonna do it do it right things.

I'm thinking I may have 2 flavors, the plated and the stainless.

Not 100% sure of content on all, but the factory had at least some that were zinc diecast.

I'm in. THANK YOU.

Always up for support of those who are aiding the hobby, especially if they are a manufacturer. Manufacturing isn't as easy as it looks.

Why not have the stainless electropolished - it does any deburring necessary along with a pretty nice finish that will never rust because all surface carbon has been removed.

It is cheaper/faster than plating. I you turn the outer bezel/button surfaces to a pretty high RA you will get a nearly chrome appearance.
