My goal has always been to keep the costs down.
The price of 390 shipped is the best I can do right now.
This new design has a bit more welding and fab time involved than the original plates.
Purchasing/ modifying the shift cable brackets added a bit onto the cost.
Being a trial run all the standoffs were made by hand on a manual lathe which ate up quite a bit of time/ cost.
I am in contact with a local small company that does cnc turning work, if the demand is still there after these plates sell, I will pony up for a lifetime inventory of standoffs and pass the savings onto you guys.
