Thanks guys!! It’s going to be a long journey, I’m so hope to complete it.

I was completely blown away by Scott’s work. I honestly didn’t know what to say

Still can’t believe Chris sold me this


Welcome to the club! You might be interested to know that even now we scribe in part numbers on all major components of the engines. Still very much set in our ways and some people definitely need more practice than others with the handwriting....

I think that’s a really cool trait. It didn’t looked stamped, who ever did mine had better hand writing then me lol and he/she was doing it with a tool, I can’t get letters to look that good with a pencil! Lol
 
yeah the fact that the boosters lack the nikel plating inside seems like a big tell they would be replicas. That is crazy if the guy from spitfire sold them for real ones and for a hefty price I'm guessing...
Yeah dude. Thats exactly what he did. And i fell for it.
 
Boost weld question for you guys

Is every boosted welded on the same fin? I have a romans replica, and next week I will be welding some door brackets for a barn I’m working on

Since I’ll have the welder setup, I want to see if I can tac weld alittle spot on my replica booster just for the heck of it

Just curious if all of them are in the same spot or if there is a certain fin to do it on

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Yes, I believe they are all welded on the fin closest to the bore/hole on the threads. I believe the steel pin is inserted into that hole to lock the booster in place and then welded to the closest fin to make sure that sucker doesn't move.
 
Just got my frag body back after being restored\refinished by newmagrathea . Super happy with how it came out! I had been planning on doing this for years, but just never got around to it. I think it was a much better idea to have Dustin do it. Here are a couple quick before and after comparisons.
