That's a nice looking scoop. You should ask him if he's interested in selling them, probably a few people on this forum that might be interested (me included!)

There's a loaded question. I know what they sell for on the street, but that's exactly why a lot of us don't have one.
Online they're around a hundred and a quarter. Under a hundred would treak my interest...

At this time he dont have any piston available to do 1 more , It would not be me who would putt the price on it , all depend on how much my brother value is time on it. If he build more i ll let you know first and will see in time for price

I come across some aluminum pistons every once in awhile but they are from small engines and would not be large enough for a scoop (I don't think). If I do find any of the proper size, would your brother be willing to do the labour part for cheap?

A stainless steel measuring cup works better. I made this one with about six hours of effort.  |
