FX3 Actuator Gear interest

Would there be any interest from anyone on here to buy the gear inside the actuator to rebuild them yourself? I have a very hard time spending $500 to rebuild 4 of these units when I can buy a regular shock for a LOT less than that. If I have these parts made I would probably need to buy a quite a few of them to drive the individual cost down.

What would be a price that you would say yes to buying them and installing yourself?

Yes I know all of that. The price to rebuild 4 actuators is $500, the price for 4 gears that go on the shock is close to $160. To have adjustable shocks isn't worth $660 to me. If I can generate interest in buying the parts to rebuild the actuators I can do it a lot cheaper than $500 for the 4 of them.
