Here is the Brass for the body of the plane that just arrived from McMaster-Carr: $40.41 Shipped. That's not too bad!

And it never hurts to have friends that are Machinists. I gave my friend the plans for a Norris Style Adjuster found Here (http://www.xmission.com/~jry/ww/tools/a13/a13-dwg-gifs.html)

And this is how it turned out.

He said he made it with some scrap he had lying around. :D

Thanks for looking,
John

That just isn't fair! :( From scraps, no less! Looks like I need to make friends with a good machinist.
