it's an absolute pity that you're not overwhelmed with orders. Casting is a "dying art"and from what I've seen and read on the forum you do very good work. Like nearly all of the "old trades" the demand (despite all the interest) is fizzling out. Yep it's just so easy to go and buy a CNC machine and make your own parts. From past experience dealing with some forum members I find there are a LOT of "talkers and wanters" out there but actually getting them to put their hands in their pockets is a totally different matter. Funny old world we live in where people are quite willing to spend a small fortune on important stuff like "Emulator valves , trick shockies and exhausts"without a seconds thought but the thought of buying a side cover leaves them gagging at the cost. These are the guys that never actually make anything for themselves and have absolutely no idea about what's involved. Unimportant stuff like preparation--materials--machining--profit margin--spending time dealing with potential customers. But hey, that's just my opinion and at the end of the day I'm just a cynical old fart that knows very little,tho I hope you do well!!

Any plans to reproduce the magnesium clutch covers for liquid cooled Husqvarnas in aluminium?
I believe there is a worldwide market there as well.
