Default Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket

Another minor update.

While waiting for the new broaches, I bored all of the sockets to receive the gav housing stem over the weekend including the ones that have not been broached yet. The plan was to do the broach work, then bore, but I decided to try and get ahead of the game any way possible.

I received the new broaches Monday and tonight was able to randomly broach a few of the unbroached sockets which I had bored over the weekend. Fortunately it looks as though they will match up just fine.

My schedule is kind of hectic right now due to my two sons motorcycle racing season starting up as well as some courses I am taking, so I am not sure when I will get to broach the remaining 85 sockets for the first run, but hopefully still this week at some point.

Once the broaching is done I still have to do the outside finish, as well as stamping which will take quite a bit of time, then finish with heat treat.

Long story short, things are moving forward.

Hope everyone is well,

Bill
