I don't have pics, I only heard about them. They are two piece finned, no name. I heard that several years ago someone made a few pairs of these.

Probably Norm Frick. I think he is in Colorado. I know he did heads for the flathead in 2 pieces and even machined some sets of Arduns. Very talented machinist.

"How the heck do I get a hold of Norman Frick of flatheads forever his web site it at http://www.angelfire.com/co/flatheads/products.html It says to call but no number? Anyone got any Ideas or leads?
He's in Grand Junction CO. Try Zipper Motors 970/243-6558 or Plating Specialties 970/242-8706 for Norm's number. Steve at Bert's Model A in Denver might have it..

Hey Mart,
What about 'frack', if you have language trouble with 'frick' !

I think that Norm Frick is well and kicking heck out of aluminum yet! I spoke with him at Pomona swap back when and he had a LOT of his stuff laid out on tables...one off type heads. Must be a real storm going inside this guys head and trying to get out thru his creations Could very well be that he made the V8 60 heads with no name.
