I do not believe I ever saw a rule that mandates a certain size such as length, O.D., etc. You received a lot of good info on type and chemical specs from respondents. At this point I advise you contact Chuck Crane, VP Judging. He is a great guy as I can attest. flivverway@gmail.com (If that is not a good email link phone AACA HQ at 717-534-1910 for updated contact info) Regards, Peter J.

Correct, sagefinds...my 46 year career was in the jobbing foundry business. Made various sizes of radiator and boiler section nipples by the thousands for U.S. Boiler, Dunkirk (NY) Radiator, etc. Very lucrative Class 30 grey iron jobs to include machining them. Great value added. Next time you see a few radiator sections joined together there are pressed fit nipples joining them. (yes, folks grey iron is brittle yet once machined they press fit simply due to the tapered machining.) Regards, Peter J.

Padgett...I'll let you know if I have a 2020 Jeep Cherokee parts car when my wife returns (hopefully) later today. Reason being she and 4 of her girlfriends are out shopping at a few malls today...😁

Send or phone Richard Petty Motorsports your query and history. Petty may answer you himself. Who knows. Hi, Grog...our posts collided

Gent decides to join a monastery. Goes up and knocks on the door. The Superior answers “Can I help you”? Gent replies “I want to join up”. Superior says “you must be made aware we have rigid rules such as absolute silence and at 5 year intervals I will ask you in only 2 words how you are doing”. OK the gent replies. At the 5 year mark the Superior asks “how are you doing”? Gent replies “BED HARD!” At the 10 year mark the Superior asks him “how are you doing”? Gent replies “FOOD STINKS!” At the 15 year mark the Superior asks him “how are yo

Same to you, Walt. Very nice photo. Just wish I could have shown it to my late mother Simone. She was a war bride from Marseille and was a nurse in WWII. Her father imported the first Ford model T's to Algiers. He died fighting in the French Resistance. Regards, Peter.

As Johnny Carson once said: “...there is only one fruitcake in existence. It just keeps being re-gifted around the world.”

What kind of cars do the salesmen drive? Anything interesting?

Outstanding museum. Many electric vehicles to include Duryea's, carriages, sleds, etc. Welcome to the Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles

Foundry pattern makers used the shrink rules to make the Master Patterns which obviously have larger dimensions than the blueprint show net shape desired. This is a "two shrink" scenario (master pattern-to-production pattern-to casting desired dimensions). I recall a few times over the years when replacement casting issues from folks came up here. They wondered if they could take an existing casting, clean it up, then have a foundry use it as a pattern. Well they did not know that the iron would shrink to below the desired net shape. Today most working patterns are produced

"Gnaw"...tell me it ain't so, Jeff. Did you have any 4-legged college friends named Ben?

Good point. Rodney, I advise that you make another "separate subject" request in this forum so your query stands out. When you request help with 2 queries in one post it makes it somewhat obscure or easy to overlook.

Rodney, if memory serves me correctly quite a few years ago the Forum Admin explained that the forum would me overloaded with people placing the same request or post in many topic sections. This made sense to me. For example: I want to sell my 1908 Widget for $800k then copy the same "For Sale" advertisement in every single topic arena of the AACA. It would swamp or basically ruin this service of the AACA. I may be wrong so maybe someone in Admin will chime in. Peter J.
