As most of you know, we tested a new aluminium rotary valve cover for the A4 at Peterborough. This test was successful.
Nick, Chris and I had a conversation regarding demand. We concluded that 42, orders in multiples of 7, with price reducing by volume, should be made. The original cost per unit estimate was approximately £10. A quick decision was needed yesterday as the tooling set up in the machine would have to be dismantled as other work was pending. We therefore placed the order for 42, plus of course the two test units. By doing this we made a further reduction in price to £7-15 per cover.
I appreciate that this is outside the process and apologise, but ask for your understanding taking into account the circumstances.
