Just looking at the feasability of making both versions of the Plastic Carb Bowl, out of aluminium billet for resale?
I work at a machine shop, and both our programmer and engineer agree with me that they would be fairly easy to
make. We produce alot of Alum parts and some of our drops would be of perfect size for the newer style bowl.
Any input on the idea is greatly welcomed .

While it might be a stretch to say "I live in fear of breaking my glass bowl" ('53 Evinrude FastTwin), I do often wonder what I would do if I busted it....

Having a replacement option would be nice, even though it would be opaque....

How many different sizes are there? I suppose once the CNC program is run, you could make them "on demand"....but how many are there? Seems like the time to gather dimensions is now, before they all get broken!
