A lot of people ask for new valve cover grommets, and SHO Souce is listening.
We have a manufacturer willing to build brand new valve cover grommets, but we want to see if the price point is acceptable. This is only gauging interest at this point. There is about a 3-4 week development time (and a significant cost) if we go forward.
The specs:
Custom designed valve cover grommets for the 16 large V6 grommets (the 4 small ones do not leak, so you do not need to replace them).
The material would be Viton which is a much superior product to the factory rubber. These grommets should last much longer.
Target cost is about $45 for a set of 16. We want to find out if there is "sticker shock" with this price. We are going to have to buy A LOT of sets, so we do not want to sit on a bunch of overpriced items.
How bad do you want new valve cover grommets?
Speak up and let us know.
Thanks
Mike
Edited to add the link to the ad from page 3. Now taking pre-orders.
I had to wait until April 2nd just to make sure it was not a joke.
Today we received the test samples of the valve cover bolt grommets. They look great and fit great. We will go ahead and order up our first batch. In the mean time, I activated the ad so people can preorder. This is not a group buy, just an opportunity to preorder and get in on the first sets we receive. Since this is a new product, I estimate our supplier could take 4-6 weeks to get us the bulk order, but maybe we will get a nice surprize.
