You can now buy a 3-D printer for $5,000 that makes carbon fiber reinforced plastic parts up to 6.25" x 6.25" x 12". Check it out here.

Just the thing for making those small Commando parts.

When that photo was taken, it was just being mocked up to test fit various components. That's when I realized my best course was to wait and build the 880 engine properly, and I ended up sticking a complete running 850 e-start engine in there instead, with an OEM sprung MkIII head steady.
I've since installed a Dave Taylor, but will be trying a repro PR steady one of these days (it's on the shelf); probably when I finally finish the 880 engine.
The other bugger is I have to send out my cases with the CF primary case, VR "big bearing" tranny cradle, Spyke starter, and Lytedrive clutch basket, to the guy that used to retrofit the starters for Kenny Dreer (I hope I can still find his contact info when the time comes)
