Tom;

The casting masters look absolutely beautiful! I will post photos soon. The machinist was a gem to find. He is extremely capable of making any part for the Tigers. I almost cried like an old woman when I saw the parts.

I have sent Gill a couple of photos to post on the gallery under my name (page 4?). I'm just waiting for them to show up. Take a look.

So am I. Lucien has done a very nice job. My Feifels are not as fare, but I'm happy to have the correct measurements so fare.

Hi Lucien

I would like to up grade the filters on my slow build Tiger and await the pictures eagerly. In the mean time will they be for sale and if so how much?
There's no harm in asking!
If it's too soon to ask I do understand.

Regards Paul

The set shown are the test mules. I have received the casting masters today and they have the correct canister tops. They are not indented as shown on the photos but have subtle grooves turned into the tops.

We are in the middle of working on the hoses and other fittings. After the masters are all done, then the spin caster can finalize the pricing. Stay tuned.

To all;

Work on the feifels has been progressing. We are working on the exact look of the hoses and elbow connections. So don't lose faith...it's coming along.

I could use some help with the exact measurements of the attachment brackets which holds the feifels to the tank body. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, guys.

To all;

The feifel air cleaner master was designed and machined to be reversable and fittable to either the left or right side of the Tiger tank and is made up of ten individual parts. As of last Friday, it has been shipped out for mold making and casting.

Presently, we are working on the hoses, elbows and other fittings for the air cleaners. I think all of you will be pleasantly surprised when you see the detail in the hoses. They will be grooved, faceted and twisted to match the real deck top hoses.

The machinist truly is gifted.

Hi Lucien,

Sounds great :D I really love to see some photo's of them?
What is your planned date to sell the Feifel sets to the customers?
Any idea how much a Feifel filter set is going to cost?

You can mail me at:

Yes I have been looking forward to these for quite a while and I'm especially curious to see the hoses. I knew you were going for total accuracy. I dont think any of the 1/6th kits have ever had accurate hoses. I can't wait to see how the whole Feifel set turns out.
