hi paul:      while you are there see if the foundry can cast the al. front
and rear side housings.  try for a tentative price.  3 to 100 at a time.  i
am going to build some single rotors.  my mods on my OMC single rotors is
coming along fine.  hope to have a BD5 with one installed at oshkosh.
thanks much.   walt

That's a good idea but you are not done when you have the cast housings.
The real cost is detonation gun coating of the housings and the subsequent
grinding of that carbide surface. Real expensive. Perhaps Leon can find
someone in Oz that does detonation coatings. I don't trust the other methods.
