Unobtanium outboard pipe

[Chris Wood]

Lynn no longer does pipes and is out of the hobby. I talked to him about buying his pipe business but decided I didn't want more headaches than I already have lol. I am gonna guess if u get ahold of one cut it up and start cranking them out

Thanks Chris!

Would like to get his permission if possible...Don't want to have anyone think I'm stealing .

Was there tooling for this? It would sure save a lot of time and money if I could start with that

Did he / would he consider selling his pipe business now??

I talked to Steve and Lynn about 4or 5 years ago on buying the business and every thing they had went with it at that time.On the cast outboard pipe the front half was a sand casting for the pipes.

I had talked with bob about buying his pipe business at one time .i can weld .but his was wood molds and a large kiln that i dont have room for .paul me and you spoke about this . I can weld and mold from that pipe to match but is the lemon worth the squeeze???

Sorry.. Did you end up buying the business?

If not, can I get their contact info, I'd like to see if they are still interested in selling.

Understood about the front half. The company I work for now does a lot of work for casting companies. Not sure they do anything this small but I can ask

I may look at possibly machining the front half....

Yes I remember that discussion. That wasn't this pipe was it?

Yes, based on the response in this thread, if this pipe is that good it will be worth at least looking at what it will take.

THANKS!

I know the spinning lathe was sold,and Dean Werges bought the remaining pipes. The cast elbow was the hard part on that pipe. Pretty sure anything to reproduce it is gone....

Cooper told me the mold was bad, it was leaving a thin spot that was giving him trouble. Said a new mold was needed, but cost was too much. Maybe doing lost wax would be the way to go. I know people doing that at home

Glad I got one...but testing for now. Got other to test too, so we'll see which works best as well.
