quote 49Hiawatha:

At the Yankee Chapter meets I have met several members who have engineering backgrounds and with CT having , Pratt, Sikorsky and Groton, etc..,surely there are some machine shops , vocational public schools or technical community colleges that could help you. Also , there are tons of talented folks who build street rods that have this needed knowledge..Street Rods shows, restorations shops are all over. Good luck .

I’ve spoken with a lot of our folks about this impeller and also the 11-tooth Elgin/West Bend bendix gear and not received a lot of encouragement. I guess if I had Jay Leno’s contacts and budget it would certainly be possible, but on my shoe-string finances it seems to be out of reach right now. I know when I researched it, the one quote I did get on the bendix gear was a minimum order of 200 at about $40 a pop. I don’t think I’ll live long enough to sell even 1/4 of them based on the demand! Hoping the 3-D scanner thing gets easier and better in the next year or two, that seems to be the best hope.
