I also have a copy of that Howley OHC brochure somewhere, don't think it ever made it to market or was actually listed inside the brochure but seem to remember it was promised to appear very soon at the time.

IIRC minispares own it and all the rights now, so after we've all got 8 ports they'll un-dust this one

it will never happen, it would need a lot of money spent on it to produce an economic, viable product and i doubt it would be anything like as good as what various people offer now a days.Smiffy wrote:IIRC minispares own it and all the rights now, so after we've all got 8 ports they'll un-dust this one

So why did mini spares buy the rights then? Just buy up the competition?

its probably more complicated than that, from very distant memory, when keith calver came from howley, it came with him, along with a load of other stuff. i quess it was more a case of 'we have paid for it, throw it in the back of the truck'
next time i speak with keith, ill get the full story.
