Paul, I know you're focused on the engine controller, but I
recall a while back you mentioned the possibility of a run
of wiggens couplings. Did this happen, was there not
enough interest or did I miss it?

Jeff Might be interested. He has an NC lathe now.

Jeff, these things cost $100 each if you have to buy them from the race car suppliers.

   You can put me down for a few also if you decide to make them.

How about simplifying the clamp?  It is only holding
the split clamp together and has relatively low stress.
Would a standard hose clamp work?  Way less cost,
but not as much "cool factor".    :)

You bet :) That is how we did it. You can safety wire the screw.

Here it is pressurized in boiling water.
Use silicone O rings. Good to 500 F.
