When I last spoke to Steve he was talking about retiring! Then he started selling the last of his stuff. No mention of problems with foundrys.

Steve mentioned to me a while back that the foundry he had been using for casting was no longer available to him, but I'm not positive about the reason. I think he said it was going out of business, but I'm a little fuzzy on the details. I'm sure he could have found someone else to do the work, but I think he'd already been thinking about retiring, and just didn't want the hassle of sorting out a new supplier.

BTW, I have seen crankcase castings this year. Not AN and not Maney.

Ok, assuming, Commando castings, I’ll bite. Who, what, where, when and how?

This is more or less what Steve said to me as well.

Thank you very much for the info, however I am pretty sure Yves will only want Maney or 'modern' billet crankcases.

Kind Regards,

Bruno

Hi Jagbruno
The posts from Trimachining re the billet cases will tell you the details you are after. This is where they are coming from. No doubt you are aware of the success they had in the UK recently with Platz's bike using these cases? Hope your interest is sufficiently piqued. You have my email now? Hope to hear from you soon! Cheers.

Ah, something went wrong then!
Yes, Yves is interested with those as he needs to install his Alton starter on the bike and I believe those cases should allow it.

Oh okay, I did email you at the address you gave me, unless I entered it incorrectly in some way. I'm new to this site so if you can tell me how to send a private message to you directly I'll fill you in on the content of my email. Cheers!
