I know he's close to where they hit. I left him a message but haven't heard back from him. RE: AJ's. I've been about the only source (besides aj) on these for a few years. I can only get a few models, the 4000 series Thermotron (fits most .350 heads) are probably the most readily available. Send me an email if you're looking for a specific model, I'll see what I can do. They are pricey, $175. Possible some of the gripless are still available.
