The part is a rubbber intake manifold for use on a motorcycle. It goes between the carburator and the head. The environment is HOT but not extremely hot (200 deg - ish) and the material must be chemically resistant to fuel. My first material choice was Viton but I have been told there are cheaper materials that would be appropriate
I am working on pulling budgetary information together to see if I can justify building a mold. The mold would be a four cavity mold and it would have an aluminum insert, which I would supply.
What I am looking for is the cost to make the mold. My initial investigation has told me that multiple cavities will reduce the part cost which is the other part of the equation.
If you can do the molding ,the quantity of parts needed would be around 200 and the material is TBD but it must be fuel resistant and will be in a hot environment.
If this project is a go it would probably start March- May timeframe
