Trays are coming along. 17 have been welded up. 3 more to go. I started final cutting and deburring, so In a week or so I will likely have some ready to send out.

Only changes to Mike's design was a 1/8 wider center strap since there was room. And I added a weld nut on the under side of the tray between the mains. This will be a place for someone to bolt a strap to if they want to run a brace over to the pick up tube. If not it is out of the way and can be left unused. I have seen too many tubes break off at the threads or have the threads badly bent. This may be a help to someone if they want to use it. I'm not going to put another pick up in my own stuff without a strap/brace.
More to come! :D :D

Rick

I think you mean trays. Man, these look great, Rick. Thanks again!

Next time I pull a pan, I'll plop one of these on...

I got the new bolts for the mains back from the machine shop and plan to have some more of the trays finished and ready to go early next week.
Once l get them packaged up and ready to ship out, I'll contact each of you with a final total.

Thanks!

I am getting ready to start sending out some trays and scrapers as I get them final cleaned and deburred. Below is the list of people as I have it. Please correct me if there are any mistakes.

*** Remember these were all drilled, cut, bent, welded, then final cut and deburred by hand. You need to fit these to your engine. They will need tweeked which may include twisting, bending, trimming...etc. I think you get the picture. You need to double check them for any burrs or weld slag that may have gotten by me. I did my best but there is a lot of hand work on these. So look them over to be safe.

1st list is the folks that have sent a deposit or paid for their trays/scrapers. Those who have sent your deposits can please send your mailing address it will be greatly appreciated. If you already did thanks.

Name----------------Tray--------------scraper
Rick Covalt ---------2-----------------2
Ryan Covalt---------2-----------------2
Wayne Venable------2----------------2
Matt Deemer--------1
Stan Aiton-----------1
Reed Spier-----------1----------------1
Slantzilla-------------1 Donated as award to be given away
Rob Simmons--------1-----------------2
Lou Madsen----------2
Dominic Rynders-----1-----------------1
RubenChevere--------1
Neil Wolfson---------1------------------1

The following have expressed interest but have not sent any deposit. If you are still interested contact me ASAP. I only have 3 left for the folks below, so first come first serve. I could give up one of mine and make more later but honestly they are a lot of work and it may be a bit before I do more.

Montana A-----------1
Walter Jackson------2
BB66cuda------------1
Cleverpig------------1
Captainproblem------1
