First off, AVM has been incredibly helpful with helping me brainstorm where I might find parts for my broken 5 ton hub (I bought a recent ebay auction with one good and one broken hub). Ultimately, I was unsuccessful in finding spares (I need the inner coupling ring), but did ask what the cost would be to spin up their tooling to produce 5 ton lockouts from new.
The cost I was given was $100,000 USD.
I figured, even up to about $25k, I could swing it and then slowly sell them out over a series of years. I can't swing $100g's, however.
If any of our better-resourced members wants to look into this, please PM me and I'll provide contact details. Please note that we communicated in spanish as the gentleman's english is a bit rough, but he also speaks Italian and Portuguese.
Best,
Bob
