Howdy Folks - The new intake is coming... honest..The pattern was completed late in February, and was sent over to be cast. A 1st intake was cast, and there was a very minor issue we wanted corrected. That took place and the pattern was actually back in the hand of the casting hands by the 1st week in March.
Sadly,the gentleman who does our casting had a wife who has been long battling cancer, and she has passed away, which unfortunately has taken him out of action. It really brings home how important things in life like intakes really are. Needless to say the casting of the intakes has not taken place as our good
friend has had to deal with the passing of his best friend and wife.
The good news, is I did hear from him today, and he thinks he will be up to getting what we anticipate as
the final test intake and we hope to see it shipped to us this coming week.
We wont have the intakes ready by this coming weeks Spring Carlisle. In fact, for this an a couple of
other reasons we wont have the AoK booth at Spring Carlisle this year. George has sub'd out the 3 spots.
For those patiently waiting, please, still don't send $$$ I want to know we have the intakes in hand
and ready to have machined before we "unleash the hounds".
Again, my apologies.. I truly thought we would have them ready to ship right now.
