The maker of this con rod is worth capturing as a source - if they're not
in Monroe's catalog, they're not likely to be. He has a great selection of
raw forgings available, get the finish machine work done yourself, but I
get the impression he's not developing anything not already in the catalog.
One thing we can do on the web site is create a list of vendors, and
another of  compatible or cross referenced parts.

Monroe is another important CDO resource, and we should figure out how to
preserve what he's done while we can. Monroe has a lots of molds and other
tooling to make these parts, and has a number of folks that do the forge
work and and stuff to make the parts. He's done a lot to build this up as a
one-man operation, and it would be unfortunate to lose it. When I talked to
him last year, he said he wasn't able to go to Hershey due to mobility
issues - I think he's at least 82 years old.

How can we best approach this as a club, to preserve and continue these
parts and production capabilities?

Roger

I'm sure there's others closer than me - Randy Marcus (another '03 model R)
and I are in Central NY Ithaca), about 4 1/2 hours from Monroe. We might be
able to arrange a trip to visit other than Hershey. I know we both have
full schedules through summer already, but there's things that can be done
at a distance as well. Just phoning Monroe and asking what provisions he
has, or would like to have, to make to ensure continuation of his work
would be a start. And I think he'd welcome a call, and some CDO news as
well.

Taking on his parts production would be at least as big of a project as
getting the club rolling. There may be someone in the club, or parts
suppliers who would be interested doing this as well.
