I talked with the metals guy down at Boeing today. He made a request for inconel and received four bins ( I assume they are of the 5x5x4 foot size). He said that they got quite a bit of material, 6" dia, 4.5"dia, and 3" dia tube. I have to go see what they've got. Sorry this is such convoluted process, but it's the only way I know of to try to obtain the inconel tube from Boeing surplus without fronting the money myself.

Looks like I'll be buying an 87-88 j-spec 13B in the near future. Probably make the purchase from Cork Motors in Portland or one of the importers in Kent, Wa.

I'll keep you all posted on the Inconel.
