I think all produce, as long as it's fresh and properly washed, will work about
the same. :-) |

Sheet lead is by far the best sound deadening material, but it has to be
freely suspended from vibrating objects/surfaces---1" soft foam + 1/16" sheet lead is very good..

My wife is having a hard time with the dual carb, header situation when we go for a sunday fly, I mean drive. Rick Bass Players Drink Bass Rick.......... Unlike others, I refuse to lower myself to making light of the use of your word "produce" instead of what you obviously meant "products". I have found that most of the owners of high-revving Japanese automobiles in this area invest several thousand dollars in sound reproduction electronics (we used to call them stereos) to overcome the disagreeable sounds of pistons swapping holes at 8000 rpm. One problem with this approach is the alternator required to recharge the battery is almost as large as the engine, and sucks down as much horsepower as the drive wheels. It doesn't matter really, as most of these glittery skateboards are about as fast as a '49 Chev torpedo. I really like the added touch of ground effect neon lighting and trunk spoilers to increase traction on front-wheel drive cars. But back to your question - in actuality, two questions. To quiet the engine, the OPEC countries have, just for you, raised the price of noise. We are all more than happy to participate in your program. There are a few who are a bit put out over $3.00 a gallon gasoline, so we have given them your phone number. The solution to the problem with your wife should be obvious. While she is mowing the lawn with her new, quiet, electric lawnmower, may I suggest you spend some quality time on highway 101 at 120 mph with a 28 year old redhead. A stop at a motel overlooking the Pacific with a good wine cellar will put your quandry to rest. Rich "The big picture" S. |

Rick Bass Players Drink Bass Find a switch labeled Magnetos, and change it to the Off position. That should fix the noise problem. Post if you have any further difficulties.... :-) |
