Anyone remember where David U. was on the piston sleeves/caps? It'd be nice to keep things moving along here.

I dont remember where he was with those parts. I have tried to reach him but no luck. Is it practical that everyone could build their own if this keeps things moving?

I am open to suggestions.

You had one guy doing both cylinders and caps? That's quite a lot of work, and lots of material besides.

I might be talked into doing the caps to take the load off.

David U. was going to try and make the cylinders and cap as one piece, don't know if he did it or not and if it really worked. David is losing his machine shop at school very soon and I don't know if he has a shop at home so I think we should proceed without him since he is not answering calls. I think we should seek out someone to make the cylinders because some people in the build may not have the tooling to make them themselfs.

Anyone know of anybody who would be interested in joining our little cabal? Maybe two even? BTW, thanks for volunteering for the caps rleete. Let's see what we come up with first before we decide how/who makes what.

Looks like we have come to a stand-still.

I propose that we collect/disseminate the parts that we have made already.

Would everyone be okay with sending their parts to me and I'll make a "package" of the different parts for each member and ship them out?

We'll deal with how to complete this project once everyone has their copy of what pieces we do have complete.

Let me know what you think,

Sounds like a workable idea, Ron. I could find time to finish one but I am covered up with work at the moment and can't take on any new projects. I would suggest we all add a few bucks in with the parts to help defray the cost of distribution. Bill

Sounds fine to me too. The flywheels are just gathering dust.

Do me a favor. Whenever there's activity here, drop me an email or maybe have the forum software "ping" me. There's been so little activity, I don't check much anymore. I've "subscribed" but I don't get a notification.

Sounds good for me too. I think flat rate box will work for shipping in the US, but don't know about out of country. I could throw in the flat rate money with my shipment, just let me know if it works out with the flat rate box.

Okay guys, I'll send everyone my address in an e-mail. Now, I appreciate that you're offering to throw in some money to defer my shipping costs but I'd prefer you didn't as it's really not necessary.

Thanks guys, watch for the e-mail.
