A company who we work with, is in the business of manufacturing threaded fasteners. Today they enjoy a significant business producing fasteners for all the major US racing series. They work in stainless, low alloy, H11, A-286, Waspaloy, Titanium, the multiphase alloys and a bit more.
With the advent of aluminum heads in FF1600, is there any interest amoung the racers to utilize studs? If so, we would like to hear from you so we could anticipate the market and go to production with a significant lot so as to help provide the best price to the FF community as a whole.
It may make sense to use studs (head, intake, exhaust, valve cover), even on cast steel heads. Shoot it may be interesting to also do the mains.
