Subject: Wiggins couplings questions

 A few years ago we made some Wiggins couplings for water plumbing.
 These are widely used in airliners and military aircraft as well as
 Formula
 1 race cars. They are highly reliable, long lasting  and quick to take
 apart. They must be tig welded to aluminum tube. If you buy the race car
 versions they are about $100 each. We simplified them by doing away with
 the
 outer trick clamp and used a mundane hose clamp instead. We also
 standardize
 on 1.5 inch OD aluminum tubing for water plumbing. That would be the only
 size we would make.

 We are thinking of making another batch but we would need to make at least
 50 sets. Is anybody interesting in buying some of these? My guess is they
 would be half the price or about $50 a set.

Paul,
I will take six.

OK it looks like we are getting some interest. I know Mark Steitle wants
some more as I think he is re-doing his ES installation with a 3 rotor
p-port.

Paul,

Correct, but I don't know how many I'll need at this time.

That is OK we are almost getting enough interest for me to take the finacial risk. I think I figured out how to use the same part to bond or weld.
