We am looking into having some 114mm DD pushrods made and think there may be a need here in the folder community for the rods. The rods need to be made on a very specialized machine known as a Swiss lathe so they are not cheap, even in quantity. So, here are two questions:

Would you be willing to pay $40 for a pushrod?
If not, what would you pay for one?

Thanks for your answers
