How many can handle just a raw casting?

I would like a semi finished one.  All I have is a drill press

and a

die grinder but if that is not possible I'll take a raw intake manifold

and a

set of injector holders.

I'll let you know the cost of the machining Ernesto. Jerry has a

mill

if he will loan it to you. How far are you from Jerry's place?> > > Paul
Lamar

About the same to Santa Paula....120 miles north.
Ernesto

Well then you can drive down to my place on your day off and do half a

dozen :)

Paul Lamar

Sounds good to me! It's always fun to visit you. I'm off Tuesdays,
Wednesdays.
Ernesto

OK you can stay overnight in the apartment if you wish.
I'll let you know when we are ready. I need to design a fixture
to hold the intake runners so the injector bosses can be machined.
Can you fab from sketches?
Paul Lamar

Paul if you set them up, I can:  blue, mark, turn handles, sweep chips, make
coffee and take you to lunch....but you have to supervise me : ).  Also, I'm
not sure yet what injectors I'm going to use.  RC's are the best but
expensive..
Ernesto

I just had a great idea on the machining jig. We will use the angle plate
and a couple of U clamps. If I can't find the right size we can bend them
up using all thread.

I would not be so sure RC is making them. They might be selling ND or
Bosch or worse Lucas :)

See if you can find a drawing on what RC is selling and we can match
them up with a well known brand.
