Your design sounds good, except, I don't think you can have 'two primary-keys' in a table. There can only be 1 primary key per table (and it can't be NULL). I'm guessing that your variant id, and part number, will be foreign keys of another table ?
Will update with more details on Friday, as I'm now knocking off work early and off to have XMas lunch with the in-laws.

I have full acess to all of the machinary there, which includes a CNC lathe, vertical and horozontal milling machines, surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, thread grinders and even an lazer etcher.

We plan on making up some stainless steal spools with the relevent bike logo etched on them eg. gsx-r logo on mine and R6 logo on my mates. They should look cool images/icons/cool.gif .

I'm thinking things like rearsets, pegs, heel plates, yokes, bar-ends, levers, exhaust hangers, subframes, shit the possibilities are endless.

I guess it comes down to what your work allows you to do with all that equipment, but you could turn a profit and help out your motorcycling buddies at the same time images/icons/smile.gif

I think you would want a machining center for most of that stuff, there would be to much time involved in thngs like rearsets to do it without one. If we had a machining center those items would be no problem especialy with CAD-CAM.

And before anyone asks - a power inverter changes 12/24/48 volts DC in 240 volts AC, they're used in renewable energy applications, mostly solar.
