So there is something weird going on in the engine tin universe. There is ONE GUY who makes the metal repro tin, and to my knowledge, supplies it to Rich Johnson, Patrick Motorsports, and Pelican.

This guy is MIA. I have already had my money refunded by Patrick, and have an order with Rich, who will most likely have to issue a refund as well.

Yes, I know Mark Epstein has an original set for 1K.

I am looking for leads on REPRO engine tin. Can be used, I can powdercoat.

need it ASAP, have a motor waiting to go in the car and can't.....

I also looked into the getty FG repro. Crickets over there....

Any help appreciated!

Luke,

I am a buyer! Thank you!

Bruce, i should have thought of you. My 2nd choice would be the FG stuff over the metal.

MB, I can't wait any longer. This is the tail end of a 13 month resto and this is the only items stopping me from moving fwd.

Thanks to all who posted!

I am also a buyer of a decent tin set / not original or pristine and can be in need of minor straightening, flattening, tweaking, and refinishing.... however, please consider that I was forced into retirement after laying off 22 employees in this robust " recovery" with no pension and forced to be living in a tiny one bedroom house near a major four lane highway and stuck on a fixed income which is dwindling every so quickly due to this 3.0 6 debacle I am knee deep into. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

But I am a buyer.....

So far I have a line on a set, thanks guys.

Krieger / brownaar, i am pretty sure these are the same ones made by the ONE GUY who makes them and has decided not to return calls or emails. It's really frustrating!

Too bad that Restoration Design hasn't decided to make the replacement tin. They could include the openings for the heat tubes and the radiused raised areas to look just like the factory tin.

Do we need to start an email campaign?

I'm not RD, so I don't know what they plan or don't plan. But I would say it's possible.

I will be making sets in the very near future to fill the void. I should have samples on my door in the next couple of days. I will be selling them pre powdercoated so end user won't have to worry about Doing that.

Ben, I'll definitely be interested in a set of your 914-6 engine tins.
I will need the warm arm tube installed in the passenger side as I have a MFI engine going in and it needs the warm air to run correctly.

I can send you the sheet metal part I have from a 911 engine that you can use if that would help?
It is a 1" piece of tubing.

When you do your 1-5/8" heat exchangers which I also want a set, I'll need a similar 1" tube welded into the HE just as the 911 MFI engines had.

Hopefully you'll be able to help me with both (engine tin and HE's).

I can help with sets if anyone is still looking. There's been a bit of a disconnect the between builder and suppliers over the last month or so.

Warm air tube? It just got up to 87 today in Laguna and we are sweltering over here.

I deleted the heater stuff and went to headers on purpose (and made the drive to Flagstaff in a blizzard ...in flip-flops) so i am interested in a tin set w/o any provision for heater ducting.

If heater ducts are there, I can fab around it. I am a buyer at a fair price in any event.

I think riches sets come with now heat provisions.. Mine will come with heat provisions as the plan is to market with my upcoming 1-5/8 heat exchangers.

Correct. My sets are the sets that have been made since Dave Sheppard and team at GPR were distributing them many years ago. The heat options for conversions come into play about 30-40% of the time so in many cases the two holes were not desired. Certainly it's easier to add them than delete them.
