Re: [FlyRotary] Question on Lapping
Housings
I wouldn't worry about .002 as I
have put many together with more than that without any
problem.
I have looked into nitriding but it
is very expensive and it would warp the housing and it would have to
be resurfaced.

Has anyone used the lapping services of
Lapp Tech (they said that Bruce T.) has used them in the past.
The guy I talked with on the phone wasn't overly familiar with
the 13B except for the fact that could do the job and had done so in
the past for Bruce. He said I would need to remove a
large and a small tube but he couldn't describe in very much
detail on which housing they resided, etc. My questions
therefore are:
1. What is the current concensus on
getting housing lapped to .003? My wear is only .002 and it
seems some on the list have ignored this amount and simply rebuilt it
as it.
2. What tubes (water pipes I'd
assume) need to be removed inorder for a company to lapp
them?
3. Are there any companies out
there known that will re-nitride the housings or is this a mute point
if only shaving .003?
Thanks for any information.
