custom made hardware
Out of interest why go to the expense and effort? I can only imagine the per-unit-cost to be far higher than bulk buying the excellent hardware you had previously, and sounds like you need to get products out of the door ASAP to get some cashflow*.
Perhaps save the experiments for "limited edition" runs later down the line?
*I know nothing about running my own company, but I have owned Archies and BRP products, all of which were great!

I have to agree.. it's important concentrate on 'bread and butter' products first that can provide stable income and then use surplus the create bespoke products that may not make much money but will create publicity but will maintain a market interest.
This is basically the business model for most high end automotive manufacturers.

There will be a brand new keyclip on the way! This one will be using custom made hardware.
At the moment I'm still trying to sort out a suitable place to do the machined aluminium parts after the intended place turned out to be a dead end.
