I agree with the great group of guys thing. I never had, nor would I have, any complaints. I liked the divergent views expressed as well as the innovation, some that worked, some that didn't and some that just plain looked cool. When I first started building my own motors, no one in my area new a thing so I had to do it the old fashioned way, sort it out one step at a time. enough years have gone by that even the suppliers that I originally bought from are gone, Jahns, chet herbert, charlie baker (who was terrific to deal with and his willingness to give his advice)At any rate, no problem with hijacking the thread!
