That's great news Jay.  Did the supplier decide the billets were worth making regularly again, or did they just finally get enough orders in to make up a batch?

No. Web had to take a step of faith and order a huge quantity to get them to do it. Then it was like pulling teeth. They made every excuse in the book, including "the tooling is broken", etc. In the end Web kept pestering them and they relented and made one more batch.

 Big Jay, Which would you suggest for track use(not strip), 63b or 63c? (836 pistons, APE crank and rods, ported head w/ ti retainers and heavy springs, 31mm CR carbs).

    Don't know if I can spring for Megacycle grind 125/75 so will look for billet option. Thanks.

   As far as the Megacycle cam question, they no longer sell billet cams. Getting them to hard weld a profile on your stock Honda cam costs about $150 more than the Webcam billets.
