[quote="ianoz"]
Due to the pending ACMOC forum upgrade i have no idea how much or little i will be able to do after the upgrade goes ahead .So i suggest replies would be best before the end of the month .[/quote]

Hi Ian,

You will be able to do all that you can now if you cough up $40 and become a member.

A question for you then John . Now you are an ACMOC director , are you working on disbanding the Links club to bring them all back to chapter two ? Or are they happy now to be independent from ACMOC Having them all back would be a big boost to the ACMOC bank balance .
I am guessing they will stay as Links club for their own reasons ,as i have my reasons not to rejoin .

[quote="ianoz"]Cat 10 Early Bronze BEV Carb is the 1st on the list. NOTE: All Cat-Cave Manifolds and other parts are all Back to Factory Blue-Print Data.. BUT, Due to the Carbs being manufactured Via an outside supplier. REVERSE ENGINEERING from 3 good samples is where we are at.


Phase 1. Cleaning and polishing up Good Samples, Fit Bushes to any worn Shaft Holes, Remake new Shafts and Flaps etc .
.
Phase 2, Working back to Blue Print (Drawn Up at Cat-Cave). Manufacture the Moulding Tooling required to finish up with a casting plus machining and shrinkage to go back to the Blue Print.

Phase 3. Machine up the casting's in machining fixtures, De-Burr etc . Final Inspection to Blue before being passed off as good to go.

Phase 4. Assemble and FIT the Parts using Gaskets and Screws etc.
.

I believe after the Cat ten run is completed , Then other Cat model Carbs will follow .
So , if people need carbs for other model tractors ,post up so we can gauge the amount of interest .

What kind of “expression of interest “ are you looking for?
I’m a little confused how the phases figure into that expression. Is that just your planned development approach or are you proposing to deliver carbs at these 4 levels of completion?

1) I’m interested in either a full carb or a parts kit.
2) what would they cost shipped to California?

Good to see you edited the post . When i read it yesterday , i could not make heads or tails of what you were trying to say .
The way it normally works . Cost is not known until they are basically made .
The more people wanting them , the cheaper the final price is .
It will not be cheap . but then it will not be overpriced with a huge profit margin .
Unfortunately there is usually tyre kickers that say they want one , but when the time comes to put their hands in their pocket their arms get short and can't reach their wallets .
Just looked on Ebay , here in Australia . A new 350 Holley carby can cost nearly a thousand dollars .Plenty of them advertised . But no brand new 90 year old Cat 10 carbs .
So you put your hand up and say yes i would like one . When they are ready to ship you will be given the price with shipping .You will be given the opportunity to buy things like Brass plates etc . If your happy with the price . you say yes , and send the money , and it will be shipped to you .

Hi Ian,

Further to the notes above, I would be grateful if you would share with me, either here, or via a PM, your reasons for not wanting to re-join.

Best Regards, John
