[SEL] New Way Mixer Re-Casting

[Rick Rowlands]

Rick,

 What are the dimensions of the casting?  Can you get a picture that shows 
the mounting brackets?    What is the configuration of the interior of the 
part?  Would it be possible to cast it solid and just drill out the 
passageways inside?  I do have some standard size round cores which I could 
possibly use to save you the trouble of making a core box.
