Re: Slow Build
What would be a reasonable price for those parts fully machined? I see a guy from time to time who's hungry for work.

Re: Slow Build
if you go to his website he still has springers and parts and other stuff listed and probably wouldnt mind the extra money for his engine couldnt hurt to ask rather see someone from here get the cash my 2 cent

- SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.

I will ask him, and let him decide. You're right, someone from here first.curt wrote:if you go to his website he still has springers and parts and other stuff listed and probably wouldnt mind the extra money for his engine couldnt hurt to ask rather see someone from here get the cash my 2 cent
I checked out BEOSC under springer parts and the kit is pretty comprehensive for the money.rudog wrote:What would be a reasonable price for those parts fully machined? I see a guy from time to time who's hungry for work.

Nobody would be cheaper than You.Much more satisfying if you cut them out too.When I cut my Trees, seemed like I was never gonna get done, but watching them take shape to me was well worth the Time.

Re. MW-Steve
I have always carefully read anything that he posted. He is very knowledgeable.
I have been to his site recently, and I don't see anything re. springer parts.
I may have missed it.
