You might be right George. People may not be ready for a one piece
PSRU/bell housing. It is probably less risky from an investment
point of view to go with just a bell housing that people can bolt
on one of Tracy's psru. Perhaps in another five years.

Back to the internal ribs. Its cheaper than two casting.

Paul,
I think with unlimited resources, we cold do wonders, but reality bites
back, if your over ambitious.
Even the well resourced make many mistakes and put out products that aren't
right - as you know.
Tracy's PSRU is proven product, all you need is a bellhousing to wrap it up,
whereas I have to do both a bellhousing and a PSRU down here.

I figured about a 100 units would be about an initial demand, with perhaps
another hundred, down the line with increased interest in the rotary - so no
big production runs here to help reduce costs.

BTW I've come-up with some great ideas for the PSRU.
