John,
I have taken the specifications for one of the '60s camber compensators
(thanks Dave) and after I finally get down to Tucson, I intend to make
one as a test for my racing Spit project. If it turns out to work the
way it should, and the price is not prohibitive, I plan to make up a
batch of them and offer them for sale. I'm hoping that I can offer them
for around $150 (US) each.
Any interest?
Regards,
Joe Curry
