Obiviously, you know tooling.
I did my Apprenticeship as a toolmaker at NN Shipbuilding years ago. My last year was on a large Pratt and Whitney Jig Bore before moving into management.

that must have been an awesome tool room! You probably could have milled your own billet V-twin!

I have the original 76 FLH cam cover, if your interested. Not sure what a fair price would be.

thanks amigo...that’s a kind offer! But it’s on a 72. The 72 takes a cam cover for years 70-73. Yeah...I know you can do some drilling and make any cover 8 to an end oiler...but the way I’ve been goofing up lately, I’d probably drill a hole in my hand or something.
