Anyone know of a supply/vendor of 660 bronze. I am looking for Bronze bushing stock with an OD of 15" |

Poured cast, extrusion cast or spin cast? |

If you're making valve rings Bob, make sure you don't go with the poured cast. > Poured cast, extrusion cast or spin cast? |

This is a good place for centrifugal castings. Techni-Cast |

> This is a good place for centrifugal > castings. Matt's suggestion sounds like a good one in your part of the country Bob. Doyle had some cast for the '49's valve rings (12"), but I don't remember whether it came from a local outfit. He may be able to tell you, if he can still remember after all the Bondo exposure. |

The Challenger has been running since 2000 with Techni-Cast C90500 centrifugal cast, fine grain structure for the bronze and CL30 (A-48-30) for the iron, also centrifugal cast. This was the closest match found to the HUNT-SPILLER Gun Metal Bronze and Gun Iron cast iron ring material. Anybody want to guess where the phrases "Gun Metal" and "Gun Iron" came from? PS Techni-Cast makes the special mix formulas for a very famous Texas valve and piston ring manufacturer. Techni-Cast |

I always use Metal Tek ( formerly Southern Centrifugal) in Tennesse. Good Luck. jasonsobczynski@yahoo.com |
