Thanks for posting that Mic, will come in handy when I get to those parts on my build.

Here's some other choices. Make it from steel and silver solder the plugs in. Make it from brass and soft solder the plugs in. Make it from aluminum and press and solder the plugs in. Yes aluminum will solder. I have just done that to several of the aluminum parts I am making.

Hi gbritnell,
Thanks for the vendor info. Will be useful if I ever come up to make the V-4.
Now still at the outerheads but making the rocker arms and clevises/clevi. Might as well do the carbs too. and from there move down to pistons etc etc.
