Hi, Tim,
I saw dale's 12 project.WOW,, any i emailed him, me on a pow income can't his, out this world work.
He said i could use bronze for shells,,,i aluminum bronze,,then all i need to do is tin them..
i can make my own jigs, and then have a machine shop machine them to size.
my problem, is i could not get anyone in the 90s to babbit my dads shells...so i ended up with poured rods.
trid to get 12 running for my mom...my dad was going to pour his own shells,,,has them tinned..
except a year before he died, we had a garage fire, his 56 patrician got it, it was org. mint. the twelve parts got it too.. the 12 was at my grandparents place.
with the poured rods,,if i take babbitt out ,,i hear they grind the rod, to give a surface for babbitt
people in the local pack. club say just use them, i don't feel good with them.. i don't want to pull the crank in a few miles and do it again.
