[QUOTE="40spline.com, post: 487180, member: 8073"] Looking for feedback on a new product we've developed. 14 bolt 1410 yoke, forged out of 4340, 180 degree u-joint cap retaining shoulder (as opposed to the nub), and compatible with standard u-bolts but will also accept chromo u-joint girdles that we will sell as an option for full 360 degree cap support. Retail would be about $250. We would most likely offer a 1480 version as well for the guys with nuts that drag the ground. I've got the drawings, tooling, and everything done and ready to go. The problem is the high startup cost and relatively low margin in the part plus I've been focused on getting our spool and shaft business running smoothly before moving onto anything else. The enthusiast in me wants to build the part because I think there's a need. The business man in me says it's a long path to payback if at all, and the current market options aren't exactly bad I just think there's room for improvement. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
