Bill, I think Ernest's point was relative to a counter weight business for the older 13B when many potential aircraft project types are naturally considering the newer Renesis 13B rather than the older iron. Might be more future business potential for counterweights for the Renesis engine.

I don't know about that Ernest I believe the weight is atill built into
the flywheel on the manual trans car. So anyone wanting to convert a
manual trans engine will need the auto counter weight. The flex plate
is neutral balance wise.

Or is this way too much trouble and expense for something that is not really necessary? If no one else is interested but thinks needed let me know and I will

New builders/developers are migrating to the RX-8. I think there will
be less and less demand for the counterweights as time goes on.
