Paul,
Since Jim  seems to be monitoring the newsletter I thought I might ask
the important question. Jim, if I show up on your door with cash do you
have aluminum side housings to sell? A second question, Jim I'm going to
run a 20B in an RV-10 and want to know if you make, or have any plans to
make, an aluminum intermediate housing? An all aluminum version of the
20B was calculated (by Paul I believe) to save about 57 pounds! Lastly
are your P-port housings based on the factory p-port casting or are they
modified 13B housings? Many thanks for any information,
Bill Jepson
