Re: Howard's 47 Custom project

Dave, I was just surprised to see bronze since almost every other factory casting or forging was pot metal, aluminum, or whatever steel or iron treatment was appropriate. Only time I ever saw bronze was in repro stuff like the repro AC compressor bracket the fellow made years ago in bronze and a few modern day things. Seeing this clutch bracket made me wonder why bronze but as long as it works, why argue with success.

On the first 47 I ever played with and briefly owned, managed to get the silly clutch working reasonably well. Lost track of that car and is now another of those "I wonder why I ever let go" deals. If I get that far this time around, hope it turns out workable too.
