Wondering if anyone knows who bought Flathead Jack's line of parts. Jack used to make an aluminum starter plate. I would like to source the manufacturer.

I have posed this question before, here and on the HAMB regarding some of the fabricated parts that FH Jack offered. Surely someone in or around Walnut Creek knows who made what for Jack. I am looking for the narrow belt pulley he had.

Krylon - do you have a FHJ starter plate? Scan it / reverse engineer the part. There are several multi axis shops that machine aluminum only. Look at all the marine boat parts for example. I had a few customers that did this type of work in house, here in Socal.

Hmmm, that's pretty much what I'm looking for. Thanks Tony!
