I can't believe we have been struggling all these years when 1.6 gears were available right under our noes.

That is some funny Chit - right there!

Do you get a night with his sister as well?

LOL

Probably the best thing you have ever said on the internets Tom!

All this talk about 1.6 gears, I'm going to propose the idea to a machine shop I know of that has made from scratch ring and pinion gears for automotive. I've seen his work and I'm sure l/u gears are well within his skill set.

That would be interesting to know about.

Yes that's what I was thinking. Likely not cheap, but, nothing in this hobby ever is. He made a set of one-off ring and pinion gears for a 1958 Ferrari I worked on, and he had basically nothing to go on. I'm sure he could come up with something. The Ferrari gearset was $3500.00 , but there was a lot more to it.

Can't see why it couldn't be done. I thought about doing this for the nitro gear cases. I never bothered though since you can still easily get them from Seaway at an alright price. I would still hire a gear cutting shop to design it and tell you what material to use, hardness, etc.

Rick, you are right. I had forgotten the price of gold these days. Can you imagine what it would be worth if it has platinum plugs in it?

has anyone E-mailed him yet. he got all of his info off the guy that sold him the boat.. . i'v told him the correct info about his motor on more than one occasion,,, he chooses not to listen i guess.
