Something I'd overlooked when I returned from the PRI show last year, was to mention that I'd spoken to one of the designers at Wilson Manifolds (who have designed one of the best distribution blocks ever) and that he'd told me the following;
1) They had been trying to come up with a plate design that had some of the advantageous features that the Spider offers (directional discharge & individual cylinder jetting to name but 2)
2) They discovered the Spider plate and realised I'd beat them to it.
3) They were SERIOUSLY IMPRESSED by the Spider design
4) They felt they could not justify the HUGE expense of the R&D to develop such a product
Shame they didn't have the sense to become an agent.
Maybe they were upset by the fact that I told them every thing they made "looked" great BUT the ONLY part that was designed correctly was their distribution block. Some people just can't handle the TRUTH!!!!
