I just so happen to have a "like new" 5 l/p port-2 hp port MK V for sale. PM me to see if you can afford it.

Bro, 6-7 digits range is way out of my reach. However, if you have an old beat-up small yoke 1 HP port one in the 3-4 digits range, I may think about it...

I've got one of those too-for free in fact. But the shipping and handling charges are pretty high. ;-)

Edit: added one for Superstar per post 18


If I have time over the next few days, I'll try to contact a machine shop/fabrication shop to get a bid. If any of you know of another place that might be willing to take this on, please see if you can also get a bid.

Cheers,

I found one more vendor who will give us a quote.
Bobby's Nut & Bolt Mfg. Co. located in Spring Texas is a manufacturer of special fasteners for industry.

He is looking at a couple of options. One would be to machine the part out of stock, the other would be to take an existing piece of hardware and modify it to fit Luis' drawing.

I explained that we could probably come up with an order of 25-30 if the price was right. I did not tell him, but for my purposes, that means $8-$10 ....how about you guys?

Same here.

If all else fail, is there anybody good at offshoring?

Sorry guys, I had a message on my answer machine from Bobby's Nut & Bolt Mfg. The company cannot make these in the price range we want unless we place a huge order.

I'm bumping this thread as there may be another vendor will do make these parts for us....stay tuned and keep your fingers crossed.

Hi, Is there a performance difference between a 4 LP ports VS 5 LP ports Mk5?

 

[Couv]

Theoretically the 5th port being on the end cap and in line with the piston head orifice should have higher flow than the ports at 90 degrees. It makes sense, but I don't know how much actual difference it would make considering the flow is pretty high to begin with. However, the real advantage would be realized in hose routing.
