Hi Paul

Just wanted to share a picture of my engine with the titanium studs in

it. The nut that you see on the back is a 3/8-24 aircraft nut and the
threads are rolled. The material is 6al-4v grade-5. I'll let you know how
they are working out when we start running the thing. I e-mailed you the
other day to see if you had anymore manifolds I sure could use one of those.
let me know when you get the chance.

 thanks, Tony

Wow! That is interesting Tony. I will have to think about that.
Saves a bit of weight for sure. It would be really trick if
you went up on the size like the Aussies do. I'll have to check
the modulas of elasticity and the coef. of thermal expansion.
Might be the cat's meow.

Tony,
Very good, I need a set of studs for my single - what did they set you back?
