Fe3x if this serpentine set-up comes out well would you be willing to sell, or give out the specs for the brackets that have been made for the sbc system to bolt up tothe olds?

Dragonist,

Wanted to let you know I was checking on this. Since this was a joint venture between myself and a friend we have to work out the logistics of making any more of these.
I pretty much just worked out the basic design and inputted it into CAD buy my friend was the one that converted everything over into Mastercam and worked out the tool paths, etc.

We're looking at making a few slight tweaks and revisions to make these more "user friendly".

I'll let you know what we come up with.
