With the discusion of the price of manufacturing wiggins couplings (actually
that is probably copyrighted, so I suggest we call them Lamar couplings), I
keep wondering how this all fits with one of the motivators to go with an
alternative engine - cost. My guess would be that most poeple who can see a
13b installation through to completion have to have some access to some
basic machining capablity and welding. The Lamar coupling made on CNC
equipment would be superb, but the it's something that would not be that
differcult to turn up in a basic lathe.

To me contributing plans for these parts so that those who want them can
make them is a greater benefit than selling the finished product. For those
who can not or choose not to make them themselves, I hope Paul or Tracy or
whoever else makes parts can make a decent profit on them.

Good point Mark.

I would like to hear a yea or nay from more people on this.
Would you pay $200 for a set of four. Yes or no? :-)
