I have seen a few manufactures floating around. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 1,922 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 1,922 | | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,760 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,760 | There are probably only a few producers of piston castings for the 261, with a lot of people doing the finish machining and putting their own name on the box. When I worked at Armstrong Robber Co. we produced 4 brands of tires, using the same molds, rubber compounds and curing times- - - -we just changed the label inserts in the molds for "different" brand names.
