Definitely is a nice piece of work….and that’s coming from a machinist as well. I’m not sure if he still makes’em or not but if i remember right he went by wags382 on this site

Halfgassed,

I keep hearing about the mythical beast, but have yet to lay eyes on one of them. Please do post a pic if/when you get a chance.

Thanks. Brad.

HalfGassed,

Anodizing should hold up pretty well, being an electrochemical penetrant process. It’s paint and powder coating that will suffer over time.

Thanks. Brad.

I see now how he did the cooling. They are just water passages, probably two holes drilled at angles from the hose port, past the bearing boss, and connected to with cross holes, which intersect the downward exit holes, then plugged. Clean and simple.

Thanks. Brad.
