Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
Working on it. Taiwan actually resent the designs this morning to ask which variants to pursue.
I've asked that they not put the nozzle holes in it for now because I haven't found one that shoots at the correct angle/pattern yet. Last edited by jb4short; 04-23-2007 at 10:49 AM. |

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
Cool! It feels like there is progress here!
Two questions: I know you're in prototype phase still, but what do you think the ETA is on the first part to ship? Are we looking at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months? Just looking for an estimate .... What do you expect the price point to be on these?

We are also going to evaluate the aux. battery tray in the next couple weeks. I think that we can produce it quickly because we already have the standard tray and shouldn't have to create more than one additional part to make it. |

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
Cool, I just bought an aux tray yesterday from a board member. It's in the shape you'd expect for a tray that is 45+ yrs old. I'll be looking forward to seeing yours and possibly buying one when it comes in. I'm already definitely sold on the cowl...
Did you get an aux tray yet? It basically uses a similar "tray" part, but the side walls of the tray are much sturdier from a thicker gauge metal (and very simple 90° bends), so I think it would be very easy for you to make quickly.

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
Cool.
I'm really glad Tri-pro is on the case! Can't wait to see some (all) of these products come to fruition!

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
There's a lot of people "On the case" fortunately. The factory gets suggestions, samples, help in test fitting parts, etc. from most of the distributors that you already know. The more quality parts that are made available the better things are for everyone.

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
Look at the date, last post was 2007. No updates. Just curious if the part ever came out.

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
We're just a few beheadings away from quality re-produced sheetmetal. How do we make someone care about this like they care about lead paint in toys?

Re: TRI-PRO smooth wiper cowl !!!
I had posted it was dead some time ago- ask the guys that introduced the stock replacement cowl how those are selling. After this people started "Shaving cowls" for a reasonable price and you have to remember that, in order for something like this to be profitable, the stock replacement piece needs to carry a lot of the cost burden of tooling.
