How did removing a suborn nut turn into this???

Have a day lumping around aluminum cases, you soon beg for Mag cases.

And yes I'm one of those guys wishing I made more money so I could retire. Really …..??

I also do not call my customers fools!! I'm extremely grateful for their business. Without them, I have no business.

And go out an buy a use bridge port and do it your self. Don't forget all the tooling that needs to be made to hold the cases and the machine tools needed. I wish it was that easy. If I added up all of the money I have lost in deprecation my machines have taken, the cost to keep them running in top shape, and the value in tooling we have made over the years, machine tools you need, I could retire and retire really well. But alas, that's fantasy land not a machine shop.

I believe the Mag cases have their faults. I also believe that when properly repaired with added strengthening along with years of seasoning, they still have a life to live.

My concern with aftermarket cases is all about weight. Its really hard to get the weight out of machined part. However, the fact they are coming available is great news.

You know something, you can fix mag cases but you can't fix stupid.
