Boy, I looked up the prices for a 1" connection

set (two furrells? and one

connector) and with tax ti comes to a cool $200+

bucks per connection.

Makes the old AN-16 fittings appear inexpensive

(if heavy).  Should have

picked up some of the Lamar connections }:<(.

Butch still has the NC lathe program. It is not out

of the question that

they may become available again.

Paul Lamar

After seeing those prices I'll order some from Butch

on the next go-around.

Yes Mike,
I've been patiently waiting, for one of the purchasers
of the Wiggins assy (100 assemblies were produced) to
apply and run them......so far no cigar. However looks
like Paul is in line for this task, as his engine will
be the one that's going to soon spin the LAEV on a test
stand we are presently working on.
I will/am requesting that Paul WELD those on one side of
the Radiator and EPOXY the other side......This will
test both means of attachment while we put them through
the hell of 240HP and gargantuan gyroscopic forces.
As a matter of fact, ANYTHING attached to the Test Stand
will be equally exposed.
If everything looks good, I will run another batch for
the Gang.
                            We'll keep you all posted,
                                      Butch
