I am thinking of setting up a system where
we bore the holes and weld in the SS tubes for you.

We need to do ten at a time to reduce the set up cost.

If people send me their rotor housings
I will save them until we have ten or more and then have the
work done. You will need to label your rotor housings
with your name and address and the date before you send
them to me.

In the meantime I will publish the number I have accumulated in hand
so people will get an idea when theirs will be shipped back
to them. You pay shipping cost to and from. If six months
goes by and we don't have ten I'll ship your rotor housings
back to you if you wish.

You use a die grinder or small drum sander to finish the weld
to your satisfaction.

What do you all think?

 I'm interested.  I've got 3 ports from a 20b.  I know of two other friends
 that may be interested.

 I may be interested if I know the price.

 As soon as we get some interest I'll talk to my bud about
 price. My guess is about $150 each but that could be high.

Paul, $150 is a bargain. I paid $300 ea and had to hold his hand while he
did it.

That is the advantage in doing ten at a time. It takes far longer
to set up the mill than it takes to bore the holes. Also one needs
the right cutting tools. A humongous end mill helps :)

Sort of off topic..  Why stainless instead of mild or 4130?  This
isn't hot in particular.  Something else might weld even easier..


Matt-

Stainless actually welds easier than mild steel. Of course you never
have to worry about rust :)
