I've had my M400 since 1975, and I'd be
unhappy if my red cap was lost or broken beyond repair, to put it
mildly!
I have some experience in custom made
plastic products, and I'm afraid they wouldn't be inexpensive at all, sorry to
say.
For obvious reasons these folks like
quantity (1000s), so, say run of 100 could end up costing $100 per at zero
profit.
I'm all for the "for the cause, zero
profit", but at $100 per, how many are missing, and how many would be willingto
pay?
Love to be completely wrong about this,
so please voice your opinion.
