Hello Chaps

Just a note to say that the jig concept is going forward tomorrow - drawing on all your collective wisdom this jig needs to be able to pour the shell and the side thrust faces in one pour - it also needs to have some sort of a quick release system so that one can swap out the rods and caps relatively quickly to do consecutive pours without loosing heat out of the mould, but more importantly so you don't have to handle a seriously hot mould 8 times in a row....

Will post some pictures of the results, my supremely talented Engineering friend Steven is already working on a basic concept - for some idea of his skill, pop over to the thread on our new Supercharged single seater and have a look at what he has done for us.

Now its just to find a bit more Babbitt material as I don't think we have quite enough...

Cheers
Greig
