Hi Folks,
I'm a bit more upbeat again as I thought I was in a worse position than I was. Just the thing with the USA, disappointment I guess.
I have a friend who has a CNC milling machine, I may just ask him if he wants a project & pay him for his time, He can work CAD really well but it's a pile of time for him & he runs a couple of his own businesses & is usually very busy. He may do them in his less busy times or his own time. May be able to get him to do an adjustable one depending on his interest. It'll be a lot more than the RS ones from the states as he'll do them out of billet I guess? He can take the measurement for the base from the original one which only leaves the trumpet length to work out how to do. Probably be in two pieces with the trumpet screwing into the base. Therein may lie the adjustment method if he can feather the sliding jointing edges so they don't disturb the air much. The base also allows for a much thicker alloy trumpet tube to help keep the air cooler, may even be able to fin the outside to help this, like i said depends how interested he is.
As I read somewhere today, (Yes I do read a lot when I'm interested same as most people I guess) He reckons "this in not about gaining air flow, it's about moving the power band" (I agree) He also quoted that "it wasn't about torque, but power". Not sure if I agree with that yet, they're the same to me right now, although I may be wrong.
So screw disappointment, I'm back on track and have a plan Phew
I'll speak to my friend tomorrow & see if he's interested enough to give it a go and get an idea of the cost.
Let you know how it goes. Thanks for the support folks appreciate it.
Paul.
