Thanks, it still needs a little work. Maybe I can find time this week to pull the jug back off and get it machined

 

[Deets066]

Al machined the jug for me. I got it back the other day and did some beveling on the base and makin sure it was washed out good. I know some of you guys have watched water flow through the trans, but for those of you who haven't.

 

[Deets066]

I got around to fitting the 038 boot on the jug. The intake neck covers quite a bit of flow. The 38 boot shoots most of the charge to the top right as seen in the pic

The revised version

I have a buddy that does injection molding. Gonna see him today around 1130.

I've gotta see if his machines would be able to make a custom boot for us, and what type of cost we are looking at.

A factory 036 boot opening with a bigger/port matched outlet couldn't hurt here.

 

[Deets066]

That would be cool, but probly too much cost for the small amount of boots

Small amounts?

Won't everyone want one?

He will have to make/buy a custom mold. Could easily be $10k to buy a mold...

All you need to make a custom mold is play-doh, Crisco, and a rusty exacto knife - problem solved

 

[Backtroller]

It's worth asking Al. I'd like one for sure if he was able to make something.

dot dot dot???

If anyone's interested...

Around $500 to have the prototype carved with a 3D printer and designed on a CAD program.

Around $2000 to have a mold made-in China

Then $.05-.10 a piece to make them.

So $3500 for 5,000-10,000 of them.

I'll continue to play the lottery because if I won 26million I could justify it.

I'm sure it could be better, but it don't run to bad
