$400 Bed plate
What did you guys sell these bed plates for new?

I called and asked if you could do one for me but was told no dice so I blew a wad of cash on this one on EBAY for $400.

I was just about to try making one which would have been a big pain then this popped up on ebay. I really didn't want to make my own.

I also heard they might flex. Do you think I should add a rib to it to stifffen it up?

I HAD to save 5 pounds. I am irrational.

Re: $400 Bed plate
Apparently you haven't fabricated many things from scratch. I have and it is a process.....

Pete.... Would you be interested in the drawings and tooling to make the 550 and 650 bed plates. I'm selling some of my early pieces since there is a new interest growing in the early skiis. It's a great start to developing your own product line. call if your interested and we'll discuss it.
Ken

If you count only materials and not your time, perhaps.
That's not how it works, though.
