Where has all the TH400 tech gone ?

If there's any check balls left in that thing, the aluminum is going to wear pretty quickly.

BTW Great thread! Love this kind of stuff

Absolutely no check balls.... The design is actually really simple.

I have a local shop that can do laser cut aluminum up to .090 cheap. With water jet you are going to have some garnet abrasive trash stuck in the cut. The laser cut aluminum is smooth as silk. Send me the .dxf or even a 3d model and I can get you a price on whatever quantity you want.

Mike,
What is the minimum hole diameter that can be achieved in steel with a laser cut?

I'm sure it depends on thickness, but I've had .o30 holes cut in 1/16" sheet. I held some saw blades the other day for a machine that had laser cut expansion joints in them less than .010".

Just for fun, I thought I would try and design my own valve body from billet. Not sure if there would be any advantages other than a little increase in circuit flow. This would incorporate the switchable stall features and its own dedicated oil from the pump. Also incorporated is a 3rd gear pre-fill circuit . Just a little something to keep me busy...

Would like to thank MikeE for getting me hooked up with his metal supply house. I got my custom plates in today and they fit absolutely perfect.

Playing around with my solid model concept of the "Turbo Brake". Started moving some of the valves around to place them directly under the case feed ports. Also trying to take some weight out by hogging out any unnecessary material. Not sure if I'm 100% happy but its really close. Second and third passages are really short and can accommodate a range of options such as low band apply and low/reverse band kick-off in second and possibly second gear TB lever.
