Re: Casting Carbcaps
Thanks for the positive comments... I am in awe of what you folks know and what you share freely, and if my summer job in 1968 brings something useful to the table, I am honored to do so!
Appreciate good people: they are hard to come by.

Re: Casting Carbcaps
Summer job in college: I was a molding tech in a defense contractor facility. I ran a molding press and made air-foils for emergency locating beacons for downed planes... lots of urethane and epoxy molding, sanding, finishing, painting... years after that I figured out I had to throw away all of my clothes because they itched everytime I put them on. No brain, no pain - it was the 60's after all.

Re: Casting Carbcaps
These carb tops made it the 4000 miles from VT to CA, and they're still perfectly sound inside and out. I really couldn't be happier with them. Better than stock, at this age.
