But i have loads of time .... but a lack of TIG equipement and metal saws grinders sanders.
I do know a man who's got this equipment so i f i clould cut and saw al the pieces in front. Like a puzzle and glue it together make it nice and to be tested on my reserve engine.
Then bring it back to the welder and let him weld it piece for pice.

Al least Eaton stands in front of me and just seeing the mighty rotors makes me shiver and my brains are constanly planning drawing blueprints .....

It needs to be revised, powdercoated, the rotors need to be polished.

Eaton will blow someday between now and 730 days.

I will put in a claim at Pay PAl and let them do their thing because the seller keeps on washing his hands in innoncence. Wich means he wants to pay back 37 $$$$$$

The total amount was 402$

They sell magic rods wich you can brase and fill holes with make studs from aluminium and repair mainfolds. All this with a simple flame and a rod ...
