We think alike, Ed. My post's first line was originally "With these hen's
teeth going for ridiculous prices...." but I thought it might not be a
popular metaphor these days and changed it.

Just a simple adaptor to enable a popular and available muffler to fit would
be good enough. Seems like someone with the above-mentioned equipment could
do it easily?

Yours is an even better idea. Rip out an adapter for using the Tower .46 and
.61-.75 mufflers for the larger engines and an ASP or Magnum muffler for the
smaller engines.

OK... the planning stage is complete. Now, who's going to do the machine
work?
Come on guys, there's a few bucks to be made and a great service provided to
those in need....
I'll purchase the first two!

I might be crazy enough to take a crack at it if somebody has the necessary bolt
and flange dimensions,
got the machinery to do the job, and if it's not TOO complex a part, I could
probably get it programmed and whack something out of aluminum.
