Bill, I bought one from him a few weeks ago and it is fantastic. Talked with and if you buy directly from him and mention ROSSI he will give you free shipping in the US and $15 in the rest of the world. He is Steve stevew@...
Correction (I also posted it) it is free shipping in the US and half or $30 US if he ships it to you internationally. You need to buy directly from him and mention Rossi and Amel He is Steve stevew@.... $270 US
Yanmar Exhaust Mixing Elbow--ADDITION AND CORRECTION it is $30 international, not $15---hdi-inc.com is the rest of the email address. (He is stevew@ or stevew at if Yahoo redacts it). So mention Rossi and AMEL grooup and buy it directly from him rather than through eBay and it is free shipping in the US and half or $30 international (he told me he pays $59.50 for an international packet) A good deal I think based on our Adventures in Shipping Costs here in Europe! Regarding the elbow , Craig and Bill your comments on investment casting is right, it is a real piece of art, very well finished and really HEAVY/THICK. Time will tell but I think looks indestructible. I think his note about being able to angle the exhaust stream to avoid hose burn is also a good one.
Just curious regarding the Yanmar cast exhaust elbow....some of us have been using it now for 4 years. Has anyone yet had a failure? I have some external discoloration but am guessing it is cosmetic.
