Hi
does anyone have a supply of hot pressed brass hornblocks suitable for G3 they can sell me? Or does anyone know of a supplier?

Ian,
Can you be more precise about what you want?
Are these for repair of a vintage engine? do you have an example?
With such low volumes in G3 / 2 1/2", I would be surprised if anyone could justify the tooling cost these days for hot pressing / forging.
More likely to be just cast.
I'm happy to be proved wrong though......
