Evans Designss are available online. The way Samco have done it they've swallowed the risk and probably have just about broken even if they've sold more than 7 sets given the difficulty of getting 20 individuals together to buy these thats a sizeable risk for them to take so. Thats a risk for a business that really doesn't have to do this sort of thing as they supply OEM to manufacturers so they want the minimum number to make sure they still make something (don't forget there's still shipping, order handling and processing and all that sort of stuff as well as the initial prototype and design changes.) I've no idea what the margins were on these all told but they weren't going to be great for the supplier so if you assume the tooling costs were roughly 60% of the run and the minimum was 20 sets the tooling cost is somewhere around £2K (at a guess). my supplier did try so the tool were all new. ![]() Because the 907 uses a near unique thermostat and waterpump cover and a very unique hose under the rhs fairing at the top (leading to the expansion tank) there weren't any tools that could be re used from other bikes. make a tool, and build each hose off the correct tool. In terms of manufacture i would imagine (Samco will probably say no but hey) the basic manufacturing technique is largely the same. that minimum was 20 which despite my best efforts we never got close to without me or others buying multiple sets to get the thing moving. My supplier was cheaper than the Samco kit but required a minimum order to be met to get the tooling costs covered. ![]() Hello all, firstly apologies for not being able to prgress any further with my supplier, a combination of work health and family issues meant i just drifetd away from it. I hope this answer at least some of your questions and more than happy to help anybody out with any other questions they may have. We dont like to compare ourselves to any other manufacturers, we like to promote and sell our products based on our own credentials, experience and ultimately quality. Unfortunately there was no cross over from other Ducati models to the 907 i.e., so new tooling required for all 6 hoses. The tooling to make the hoses is very costly to produce and two of the hoses in the kit are more complex than usual and compounded with the small volume we anticipate selling, this has set the selling price. The SamcoSport brand is 25 years old this year and the factory has a lots of high tech durability testing equipment, that other silicone manufacturers can only dream of! We only buy European silicones for use in the hoses, we do not buy any raw materials from the far east, as we need very strict quality control to offer our lifetime warranty. level to many manufacturers and are very proud indeed of our products. The SamcoSport brand is recognised as the worldwide leader in silicone hose technology and as such, we equip every single F1 team on the grid this year, MotoGP, WSBK and BSB, as well as most motocross factory teams in MX1, MX2 and the American AMA series. Thanks for your comments on the hoses and you have kind of already answered your own questions regarding the hose prices, but happy to explain further. ![]()
