Question for Cet

Dave,
What gauges of metal do you use for your fanless knee and elbow cops, as well as the shoulder cops? If I want to place an order, should I just email you at the addy. from your website? Can you do knees in 14 gauge mild or 16 GA stainless? Elbowa and shoulders in 16 GA SS?

Thanks!

Hi Garetth,

The stock elbows, spaulders and knees are 16ga whether mild or stainless. I can do thicker or thinner upon request. The e-mail you sent to is fine for ordering. I respond to e-mails within 2 working days as a rule.

Cheers

Cet

Sweet! That is perfect. Order incoming shortly. Do you have any pics of the fanless cops?

I thought I did but it looks like they didn't get on the site. They are pretty much simple dished ovals: I'll send a pic later today.

Simple dished ovals... So, are they the same pattern as the regular cops, with the fan removed? Also, I was wondering why the fan less knee is more expensive than the fanned version?

Thanks Agnarr

are they the same pattern as the regular cops, with the fan removed? Also, I was wondering why the fan less knee is more expensive than the fanned version?

The elbow is pretty since the body of the cop and not the fan covers the required 3 points of the elbow so the fanless elbow is not as long as the fanned elbow. The knees are different: the fan on the stock fanned knee pattern covers the outside point of the knee so the fannless knee has to be the same length as the fanned knee and since it doesn't have the material cut away to form the fan shape on one side it uses more material than the fanned knee.
In other words, the fanned elbow is smaller than the fannless elbow but the fannless knee is actually a little bigger than the fanned knee. This effects the price on the stainless and not the mild because at around $3/lb the extra material cost for the stainless is enough to make a difference.

Cool, thanks for the info. I'd like to see pics of the fanless cops before I place my order. Could you post them here or email me to the addy in my profile?

I'll e-mail you pics tomorrow or Wed.

Cheers
