Hi Erich,
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for different sizes. The original LAT70's
were sand cast, heavy and fairly crude and the newer version is die cast. I
assume Rick is having someone dust off the die cast tooling and going from
there.
To produce all new patterns and tooling for different die cast sizes would
cost a fortune.
A few years ago I was having aluminum parts sand cast and when production
was getting into the high hundreds and low thousands I took a hard look at
changing over to die casting.
The price per part with die casting was half that of comparable sand cast
parts but the tooling cost was shocking. I would guess a large and complex
part like a wheel would cost a ton.
regards
Bob
