It is almost ready to go into the foundry.
Been working on Tom Kendall's  pattern to add material in the flange
for the late 13B version, give a bit more turbo clearance and reduce
the weight. I think I may have got about a pound out of it. I'll know
more when we have some cast parts.  Here is a picture of the pattern
prior
to coating the modified areas with lacquer.

BTW Jerry is your machinist friend interested in doing the machining
on 20 of these?

I'll work on the machining drawings in the next few days.
If you see him before then you can show him these pictures to give
him some set up ideas. Does he have email?
