I'm not freaking out. I'm just expressing my point of view. I asked where to get these parts at something more like wholesale prices. Seems like a lot of the replies are either way off topic discussing quality or inferring that I should just ante up & pay the $2/ea for some kind of quality assurance.
My assertion is that the very best detent pins ever made cost <$0.01ea to make. I'll take 100 for $0.20ea if someone will sell them to me like that and there'd be a reasonable profit margin in it for the dealer. That's what I'm looking for.
ETA: And what is this ethereal "Top Grade" quality detent pin you speak of? I bet you'd never know the difference even if there was one. It's just not that kind of part. Even if there was a quality difference (which you haven't proven there is) it's the type of part where it only makes sense to even consider when you're calculating mean time to failure for a quantity of like the entire U.S. armed forces. Statistically speaking for any given individual the margin would be insignificant. "Top Grade" detent pins. OooooKaaay.![]()
