Prwa101 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hey thanks guys! Yeah patenting it isn't going to work, to many simmaler things to them.. And it is slightly a copy remoded... Yeah that patent page about the locker said it all. Although! The one thing I could patrent! Is the insides what you guys havnt seen! how I have it set to up addapt to the bolt in stubs. haha. Took me the most time to come up with something that worked, and it does! But prolly won't waste my money doing that either. Well it's cool, I've already figured out how I'm going to sell them. You pretty much just paying for my solid works services, for a product. And haha. Yeah I don't think I'll be giving out any files to anyone. Haha. I dont like my files floting around.. There's ways to get around selling things Parking lot style. Haha. I'll get a working prototype pic up soon! It's looking pretty awsome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Took me the most time to come up with something that worked, and it does! I'll get a working prototype pic up soon! It's looking pretty awsome! I agree it's looking pretty awesome, but you can't say it works until you have built one, installed it in a lifted wheeler, and 'froaded and the crap out of it for many miles.

Prwa101 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Haha thanks! And the prototype worked pretty good I have faith in the full product. Oh and it's going to get used a lot haha, and tested to its exstent. Just found out that solid works had a pre stress test system so I'm going to see what that says.

Tosh Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'm in for one. Once you get past the initial "testing" phase you could probably get a "pre order" going. Also you could look at http://www.kickstarter.com/ I don't know if it would be an "issue" with the copyright/patient stuff but if your project was just to develop a "plan" that could print it I'm sure that'd work.

bratman18 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'd be interested as well depending on price of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prwa101 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Well whatcha guys think? A working prototype?! Finished printing my errors out and fixing dimms. She's workin, looks like a call around is in order after classes for a steel product Price would depend on how much it's costs for me to have them be made. I'm going to try and keep costs down for my Subaru friends! I know how hard times can kill the wallet. Thanks guys!! -Prwa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I'm interested, pending price. If it's comparable to lunchbox lockers for larger rigs, I'd be in for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czny Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Definitely interested in one. Weighing the costs of rebuilding a r160 plate lsd against buying the locker, I think I'd rather buy the locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weighing the costs of rebuilding a r160 plate lsd against buying the locker, I think I'd rather buy the locker. For you, I'm going to give you the best deal I can when there done! I owe you, a lot! Youve helped me a lot through this project, along with giving me a used locker! Along with him, anyone who has helped me, like GD and mike, is going to get a major discount as well! It's the least I can do, I owe you guys for helping me out as much as you have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to keep it down as low as possible. How much are people looking to pay?? And yeah it's pretty much an old lunchbox locker srunk down to fit a R160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prwa101 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 How much are people looking to pay for my product?? oh and now its called the "AAE locker" Anderson, Architectural Engineering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subruise Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 at LEAST $20. jk, im in at about 100-150. my main reason for wanting this, other than rarity, over a clutch lsd is im hoping itll be cheaper. i realize i could be off on price but i dont know what it costs to produce so............ya 100-150. flame on folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC dosnt make that kind of stuff.... If Oregon machining would pick up the phone.. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prwa101 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Been looking around and tryin to find a price. Nothin yet. But it's going to be pushing 300$+ a unit. Nisan Spartens go for 340. And there a large company, so it's easy for then to make. Me it's going to be harder.... HOPFULLY this dosnt kill you guys... Sorry.. Still going to be hell of a product though!! -Prwa AAE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugs Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I would expect anyone to pay 300-400 for this product. But most of the people on this forum are uber cheap...yet some drive rides that say a different story. I would be willing to pay 3-400 for it. Its looking really good man. Thanks for all the hard work on that. I have had really good luck with Wheeler Industries here in town, might give them a try. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faraim9117 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I've been watching this thread for several weeks, and I have to say I was a little skepitcal about someone being able to build a lockers for our cars, BUT I was dead wrong!! Awesome job!!! I agree $300-$400 is more than fair, I know I would buy one if I had the chance!!! Keep up the good work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ioku Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I agree, 3 to 4 hundred would be my order placed I'm down price but I would consider paying up to the $500 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 This is looking really sweet! As far as price..An Aussie Locker for a Dana 30 runs about $250-300, so I'm thinking one for a little R160 would be the same or less. Of course, you can charge whatever you want and people will pay stupid amounts for something like this, but if you can keep the price lower, its available to a wider market(including me). Base on what I see for similair sized lunchbox lockers, I think $200-300 would be fair, but production costs are production costs...all I can ask is to be fair to yourself and all of us:drunk: One thing to keep in mind is that when these things go into production, Subaru rally/street guys, and even Datsun guys will start taking an interest too, so your sales might be bigger than you think!

Tosh Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'd be game for one in the $250-350 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 $300-$500 sounds like a good range, cheaper would always be better but it is what it is. -Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prwa101 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Hey than guys for the input on price! Going to try and keep it down, but still working on getting it made... But! On a new hand, after I get it testing, I'm going to be working on running a new application through it! 95+ axel stud swap, increasing axel streangth along with stud streangth. Not being hallow like the old style. Although it will require swap which is going to be more $$ for someone you. One reason why I'm making both apps, bolt in and clip in stubs. Cheaper Vs. not so cheaper. Prwa101 AAE:headbang: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
