stainless heat exchanger shell set brand new, here is the story Options

[dr914@autoatlanta.com]

Here is the latest from Bosal in Belgium. Although they make some superb products, as you can see the exchanger shell set is very expensive. Although he reduced the quantity, we would have to send over our original heat exchangers so they could make a perfect model and then still pay the euro price plus shipping for the 45 sets.
If we had all of the sets pre sold we would have to sell them for a minimum of 475.00 a set just to cover everything! As you can see it is just not practical. What do all of you think?


Dear Mr. Hussey,

I’m Leo Gommans, product development manager at Bosal Research in Belgium.
As development engineer I’m involved in our sub-project for classic car exhaust systems and we have been working with Ivo Verstraete from Porsche Classic Club Belgium on 914 mufflers.
I received the message below some time ago, it is related to the heat-exchangers for 914 2.0L.

I understand you are requesting a price indication for the heat-exchanger shells.
Herewith I would like to give you such an indication. You’ll understand a new set of tooling needs to be made and the cost of it has to be amortized over a number of parts.
We can offer a set of shells (L and R, i.e. 4 shells completing one vehicle set) for EUR 286,- excl. VAT, EXW. Bosal Lummen Belgium, for a first order quantity of 45 sets.

To avoid the risk of miss-matching of shells, I propose to start from an agreed set of (original) shells, in this case it should be best that you send us this set.

I hope this offer is fulfilling your expectations and could be the trigger for future cooperation.
