Thread: Pork Pie Prices

Then there are these available in Oz from Vintage Tyres: -

Antique Tyres - Parts - Tail Lights

I think that most people have been able to get onto the D lights OK. It is the pork pies that are (the problem) rare and expensive as poison.

DennisS1,

As in Dennis from NW Vic who is storing a 107 for some bloke?

If you have a lense, we have a start.

An example of rediculous prices on pork pies. $560 for just the bodies and lenses - does not include the baseplates, globes, wiring etc.

And not complete

I reckon a good buisness proposition would be to come up with a reasonable copy and sell for half the price. You'd make a few bucks I reckon.

There must be a Chinese factory that could knock them up for $100 a pair.

I am sure I could make the bases and the sides if I only had one to copy!

The chap in Adelaide could make the lenses.

The trouble with Chinese factories is that they are like any other factory; they are interested if you want thousands or millions made, not a few hundred. Not to mention that their build quality is often dodgy.
