Ben I want to thank you for the work you did. I recieved the 4 pintles and the Axe head mount and am very happy with the way they turned out.
Thanks again!

Hey Ben
I'm wondering if there is any chance you could get some of the large thumb screws that hold the lower engine panels in place cast up. There is 8 in total per carrier and they always seem to be missing I know I would be down for 8.

Ben, i have an original set of the thumb screws in a bag (somewhere) they have all the nice cast details and i think "Ford" as well ( but dont quote me on that until i look) anyway if you want to copy them for the boys not a problem.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Doing the lower and upper bolts isn't a problem but I suspect the price may be. There is a minimum charge for casting parts so I think that they could easily cost £5 each. The other issue is that the top one needs to be tapped, this is easy you can all drill out a hole and run a tap down the centre. The bottom screw will need to have a thread cut too but using a die, the threaded section will need to be turned down to allow the die to run down it's length. This will need to be done on a lathe yourself or it involves me getting them done which will add to the cost. How many would want one if the cost stared pushing £10 each!! I'll post a new thread over the weekend about two new parts that are ready to be done. Sorry to put a downer on the bolts but I can't see a cheap way of getting them done but I will ask at the foundry next week. Thanks Ben
