Default Supercharger Bracket Cost

I'm designing my own supercharger installation for my S2 and need to make a brakcet for a Rotrex SC. What sort of price should I expect to get this fabricated in either steel or alloy? I won't be running AC. I ask because I can get a ready made one from a vendor that makes a kit but it is quite expensive (around $700+international shipping).

Any suggestions for likely cost?

I guess the bracket could be CNC'd from a CAD drg I can develop, in which case my best guess is around 3 hrs labour @ $100/hr + $200 material cost (6061 alloy - 0.75"/19mm) or maybe $50 steel for .5"/12mm plate.

Any advice appreciated.

Eric

Hi if you have a problem let me know we have a machine shop here and he ships parts to Australia all the time, we can also anodize it for you.

Henk,

That would be good if you could check with your supplier, although I plan to go with the C30 not C38 unit.

Eric, you should have suggested a group buy!

Henk, can you let me know as well?

Thanks,
Mike
