Paul,

Did you end up finding someone else to weld the mount cups?  Or are you still planning on
sending them?  If you send them I will return the first two or three for your inspection if
you are concerned about my abilities.  I may have screwed myself in replying to Joa as the
first thing that popped in my head when he mentioned thin wall tubing is the aluminum
thinwall tubing used on the air force aircraft airframe tubing cluster welding test coupons
they use for certification.  I was successful in welding those but they are a bitch.  They
are just about paper thin and the spar they are welded to is about 3/8" thick.  So the trick
is to get the base hot enough to melt without disintegrating the tubing!  Anyway, I assure
you I am quite capable of doing the job you have to your satisfaction and beyond.  I'm
really behind in reading my email, so if you've posted anything concerning it let me know
and I'll try to find it.  Or repost with my name in the subject heading so I'll see it.

Thanks,
Lorin

That will happen any day Lorin, I have the material I just need to change the blade
and cut it up. And send it to you. Send me your shipping address.
