You could just buy them in packs of six and ten here: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_ELYSIAN_DROP_TROOPS.html. At current exchange prices that's about $9.75 per six chutes or $14.63 per ten chutes, plus shipping. Not a bad price, really, and it has the benefit of being totally visually accurate as well.

I tried to find it for you, but I saw someone doing a neat little conversion using the standard stormtrooper backpack and the vents to a space marine backpack only cut down a little bit so their space marine-ness isn't as a appearent. I can't find the pics tho, sorry

I know forge world makes them but what i was really looking for was some off brand company that might make some genaric looking jet pack,or something that can be made with spare bits

Unfortunately no, although those are some nice conversions. The pics I'm referring to were on Relic New Forums although I can't find the specific thread anymore.
