Hi guys,
Through a local DOD contractor I found a few small shops that will make Berillium Diaphrams... Apparently the new fighter jets use alot of the material, so they are set up to work with it, and do small runs... So , what I need, to get a price, is CAD drawings of the diaphram, and the piece that gets pressed into the middle.. I have been told that they can do it, based upon my description. So, did anyone ever make a drawing of the diaphram...or maybe please......mike...could you... Rich |

you may very well be right on the price, but I would like to get that real information out on this board...
I am confident that we can put a real world number here, not a ballpark. If it is truely cost prohibitive, it will make the decision regarding saving the FI pretty simple... Eventually, all the used MPS's that are out there will be gone... So, either we find a cost effective way to do this, or we change our cars... I personally would prefer to solve this problem.. If we find out that the alloy is not berrilium, that would reduce the price, because it will increase the number of companies that could do the work.. So, I think we need both answers, how much to make this part, and what the actual material is.. Rich |
