Hey, Rob! Not too many pool halls in Arizona City nor Casa Grande. Ask Bob. Pretty quiet here! TJ

Thank you, Dick. Bob Alexander says he has rings that measure 2.079 squeezed closed. I will wait for him to give me a price. This'll keep me out of the pool hall for a few days! Ted

Thanks, Bud. Dave didn't have anything thinner than .093. I may be forced to use standard 580 pistons. That's be a disaster, since I already sent the check for the Wiseco pistons. Say Hi to Joel for me! Ted

Well, gang, one of our intrepid vintage karters has found us two 5 port Wiseco pistons. The issue now becomes, getting the .024 rings for the 2.062 bore. Any thoughts?

Anybody know where I can get a couple of new gasket and diaphragm sets for the 34mm Mikuni? Thanks. Ted

Happy New Year, Bob, Mike and Kathy and all the vintage bunch. Look out below, Bob's got new projects! Ted
