The current worldwide market for Neodymium magnets has become unstable
and prices for this rare earth have increased 5 fold this year, after
an earlier 4 fold increase in 2010.
This has had dramatic consequences on sourcing, with several
manufacturers refusing to give pricing.
In order to avoid interruption of production, we have taken two actions
1 - We have been able to source different, but equally ... attractive
magnets, that will in due course replace the existing units.
Performance is not affected, appearance is less shiny but I am sure
we've found a very good solution.
2 - White kits (all cars with code 'Z') will come without magnet. We
believe that in most cases this will not affect sales.
Please note this may be a trend that will occur from most manufacturers shortly due to the massive rise in prices for the resource.
