al I will order 20 R5T and 20 R4T if no R4T,s Make it R4,sI received a several thousand glow plug shipment two weeks ago. I have held prices while I still had inventory form the previous inventory. However, now I have to increase glow plug prices effective August 1.
Prices will go up 50 cents per glow plug.
That makes R4's at $4.00 per plug. R6's will be $5.00 per plug. R7 and R8 will be $6.00 per plug.
R5T turbo glow plugs will be $5.25 per plug. And, R6T turbo plugs will be $5.75 per plug.
I am adding the R7 glow plugs s it seems they are a good choice for the large case engines. I will drop the R8 in the future.
If you are wondering, my gross margin on the R6 is 43 cents per plug, or 8.6%. The R6 glow plug sales are more than half of my total sales.

The above are my current glow plug prices, until I have to reorder.
To keep prices under control I have just bought a large quantity of the glow plug wire as I anticipate that wire prices will continue to increase.
The wire I am buying now will be used to produce the glow plugs I will get this coming summer.
