That's good, Bill. We can all breath again. The worst part is always the moment it takes to realize, "Yes, I do have to make a new one."

Thanx Hawk. Gents, it was a long haul but we have a completed crankcase.

It has grown too large to safely handle during construction. This is the full crankcase length of 9 inches.

The wife had an abdominal operation and I have been unable to get to the shop for a while.
OK, this is the humble beginnings of the custom intake manifold.

Look after the little lady Bill - we'll be here waiting patiently for future progress...

Will do Darren. She is getting about now so things have eased a little.
Here the brass binder is in place. When I bore the hole open for the carb I will have the binder locked in position to shape it also.
