You read my mind. I was just working on the final drawing.
I talked to my pilot buddy down in Torrance yesterday that
is going
to make the parts. He builds a lot of parts for Boeing and
Airbus.
His tig welder is an artist as he tigs welds aluminum 8
hours
a day day in and day out.

He wants to build the whole thing including tig welding
them up.

But that is a costly thing for me to do as the tubing
bends
alone are about $30 each. I am sure he would not do less
than
ten at a time.

If ten people come up with half the cost I might be able
to
swing it. Or perhaps everybody sends me bent tubing.

Shop around and see if you can find tubing bends cheaper
than Burns Stainless is charging. Two inch OD .065 wall 180
degree
bend. http://www.burnsstainless.com/

Here are some pictures  of his shop.

He also just acquired a large Fadal NC mill so he will do
the
spacer as well.

Why don't you take deposits, of say $50 up front, and balance due when a
 run of kits is completed and you have the full costs figured out?
 I'm going to want a set of the aluminum intake rings too. what were
 they, ten bucks each? ship 'em all together when the slides are ready.

 That is another possibility. The rings were $5 as I recall.
 I am going ahead with the slide throttle kits less the tubing bends and
 Teflon anyway.

 I think a $50 deposit up front is reasonable Paul.  What ever you guys
 decide let me know and I'll send the $$.

Paul,
Me too.

Paul,

I am still in.  Just let me know how much.
