Great...something else I have to have.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)


With friends like this creating things I have to have for my car... I am never going to get it done. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)


Seriously, sounds like a fine part. I can't justify one right now, but when I upgrade my six motor in the future, one of these is on the list for installation.


Thanks,

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/jsharp.gif) Welcome to the 914 Club Board, I have used your flywheels, clutch packages, etc on a couple of projects. Always worked well and were engineered the right way.

I have not been in contact with Kennedy for several years but always get the "old man". I really enjjoy talking to him, getting some of his vast knowledge, and gruff/grumpy personality. He is one great guy.

Mr. Kennedy is doing good, although last year took a spill and tore something in his knee. He had surgery but hasn't been quite the same since. He is a great man and I'm proud to say I have worked with him for 20+ years. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Thanks for the vote of confidence. We do try to make the best possible parts we can... and always listen to our customers thoughts and opinions.

Tungsten Carbide allows us to use less steel spray which helps to keep the weight down. It is also, as you know, very hard...but expensive. However, our experience with it in the 915 all aluminum, the 200mm version for VW and 356 has spawned the new 914, the 944, and a 180mm version for the early VW ane 356. We are looking in to the possibility of versions for 930 Early and Late, as well as 944 Turbo and G-50.

I've got an carbide endmill somewhere that I've literally cut in half with a tungsten carbide endmill.

Yes. Hard.

I'm looking at your stuff for 356s right now. I'm liking it.
