You can buy them directly from Calico.

I checked their website for availability, but it appears a lot of those Hemi's have been coming apart since they are out-of-stock...

Only 2 others than our 2 that I know have come apart, and another was "close" on that one its rods got all out of round.

We are responsible for 50% of the DP Motor failures Hey its a record of some sort. I was talking with someone "in the know" last night and we decided to go very similar in route with what he is doing on the bottom, sucess breed succes right. We were at the same point really and didnt know it till I talked with him, so I guess us and his motor builder came to the same conclusion through different paths.

This one may come apart too....but the next....that one will stay up.

To leave you a quote from Monty Python Quest for the Holy Grail.

From the King in the Swamp talking to his son.
"When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England. "

Thats kinda how we live our lives around here....it works, it may not be the easy route but it works....and we LEARN how to build damm strong castles.

Were gonna have the fastest and strongest DP out there in spite of ourselves.....eventually Unless it burns down and sinks into the swamp, but if it does then well build another one.
