Hi Paul,  I'm back from Florida.  Please put me back on the list when you get the
chance.  How was your excurstion to Hangtown?  Any feed back on the Slide components?
  Thanks T.W.

Hi Tom, Thanks for allowing me to pick up the slide throttle parts
in Placerville. You have quite a menagerie on your estate up there.

Our land is not far from yours. It is on Red Robin road if you know where
that is. We just put it up for sale.

I got the inner plate machined to fit Mark's P-port engine. I also have some
1/4 thick Teflon to make the slide itself as soon as I get over the flu.
When I get that done I am going to ship it off to Mark. Hopefully
Jerry will have Mark's motor mount fixed and we can soon run the engine
with your slide throttle unless we run into some more snags.

I notices the 2 inch holes are slightly over size. You might want
to reduce their diameter by about .050". I measured them and they
are about .050" over size. People can always file them
out to fit. Everything else looks just fine.

Ok, sounds good,  I used a bimetal hole saw for these holes.  I"ll be using a better (closer tolerance) for future copies.  I'm interested to hear how this works, so we can move forward.  Oh by the way I would like to have two rotor housings fitting with the PPorts.  Who did you use and can I have a set of housings drop shipped to them for the installation?  Let me know Thanks T.W.

My next door neighbor, Jim Poole did it on a Bridgeport. I'll ask him
if he is interested in doing some more. You will save a lot of money
if you pre fill the area with JB Weld. Heat it in boiling water before
you mix it and it will pour easier.
