Interesting. However the mechanical linkages... to me they would appear to slow down the valve no matter what the valve was made of...
I was talking about machining valves for existing horns... I think it can be done even without changing the rotor plates, etc. As to carbon-fiber valves, it's an interesting theorey but sometimes you need the inertia in a valve. I wouldn't want them to be too light. -William In a message dated 12/5/2003 4:31:28 PM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > Looking for light weight valves?
