Re: New sumps
Tom, is this a one-time purchase, or is the tooling going to be good for future runs? When we get the model built we can use it many times. I expect the casting runs to be in units of 10. I am not a member of the cessna owners club, I simply will let the engine machine shops know that I can supply ...

New sumps
I have discovered a forge in Seattle that has said they can cast new sumps for us. I believe this is a better solution to the corroded sump issues than trying to reline. The problem with relining them is that Okanogon Aero in Kalona BC will not touch a welded or cracked sump. New casted sumps will r...
