Default Thanks Kevin!!

I appreciate your and ECI's efforts and wish you all the very best. It looks like your cylinder would have much improved cooling. Please keep pressing ahead.

Cheers,

Tony,
Yes the cylinders are significantly lighter than a standard pv cylinder and we do have much better cooling. Yes we are lighter by a wide margin, we are not talking a few ounces, we are talking several pounds per pot. If you were to add the pistons and rods into the equation then I believe it is something like 6lbs per pot lighter. We are very close indeed to releasing all the information, including prices to the market. As always thank you all for your patience.

Thank you all, for your encouragement and continued support of the new AX50 cylinders.

Kind regards

Andrew

Default Close to releasing pricing....

With "close" being kinda relative, I wonder if it could mean 2014? I may be interested in replacing some angle valve cylinders & Pistons if close is, well, closer than what close has been.

By the way, thanks for the innovation and drive to improve. The marketplace needs more competition and innovation.
