In Response To: Re: engine beds (Vic Roy)

John,
From Cummins you can get a diagram of the engine's profile and from that can mock up the towers in plywood. From there it's a matter of fabrication from aluminum. Pretty cool. I still have the plywood items that I will let you borrow for a contribution to the site and pay for postage. Some adjustment may be needed because even though these are production boats no two are alike. Mine is a '63 which will be some diffferent from the later units. As far as the design I got it from Uncle Vic. He sent me pix of his which I used for models. Let me know.
