Both Rotor Sports and I use the same company...LAPCO. Brian Smith of Rotor
Sports and I combine purchases in what we can to reduce costs. The service
that I was unhappy with was the nitriding. LAPCO had outsourced this to
another company. The first few jobs they did were great, but when their local
autoclave went down, they started shipping housings to a franchise up north
who really overheated them causing the iron grain to crystallize. The surface
finish was similar to suede leather!

BTW: please send any direct questions for me to bruceturrentine@aol.com and
let me know if you would like the reply to be posted on newsletter and I'll
send it there. The Rotary news letter has become a busy place and I rarely
read all of the postings. No offense intended, just a matter of  my limited
free time.
