    does anybody know a vendor that has or is able to make a set of 3 main caps for a 1948 and earlier flathead v8? H&H is 3 months out and every other lead I have tried they are out of business or sadly no longer with us. thanks in advance

    I'd wait for H&H. I did.

    I am sure H&H purchased the tooling and inventory from Flathead Jack when he went out of business 5 or so years ago. FH Jack was the only other vendor I saw that made billet caps.

    There is a Business Opportunity. Design up a set, whittle them out of some nice 4340 bar stock, and sell them to the 3 people a year who build full race flatties!

  5. I used to get my main cap and girdle setups from Doug King . . . RIP.
