Is JBC ending production?

[VR510]

I emailed about availability about their famous crossmember and was told they have no plans to make anymore, does anybody have the scoop?
I REALLY want rack and pinion on my build, it would be a shame if such a beloved company came to an end

Jeff and Sam stopped making them a little while ago.

I was wanting to buy one of the crossmembers last year, and was bummed when I saw they were no longer in production. I emailed James about the possibility of him selling the CAD file for the crossmember so I could have one cut up locally and weld it myself, but I never received a response.

There is more to it than just the CAD drawings...

I would think need at least 10 sets to make cnc run on the arms reasonable priced.
at least I got the 2 I need!

I doubt anyone would be able to take over and do it for less? unless they have machine shop access for free.

@icehouse what would it take for you guys do one last batch based on pre-orders?
