I think he just wants to machine the 2.4 style cages and open them to 2.5 size. The company Merc uses to machine the stock cages. ;)

[popslavaz]

Steve is correct. Someone out there cuts (machines) stock cages to

Hi-Perf. 260 specs. POPS

I think he just wants to machine the 2.4 style cages and open them to 2.5 size i mentioned galen because he has done a few sets for me and there much nicer then just a stock hipo unit

The 2.4 seven petal cages are very prone to cracking. I have a set and all 6 are cracked. If you machine them, that would make them weaker still. It shouldn't be all that hard to find some 260 cages, because lots of people have changed over to the rubber coated cages.

Oh OK Mike I understand now ! Send em my way I have done several sets it ain't rocket science ! Easier than making your famous salsa.....

If you are cracking cages, you are probably overtightening them. Thats the #1 reason they crack.

[QUICKSILVER]

They were cracked when I tore the engine down. They are the early style 2.4 cages used on the old 2.4, 225. I think the later ones used on the bridgeports were made better, but as many of the 260 style ones that are around, I wouldn't set up and machine any. I got about 20 in a box collecting dust. Every time I start hording parts, something better comes along, and I got a bunch of stuff no one runs anymore.

Sorry for the confusion, I should have posted that I want to have stock

Merc. FIVE petal cages machined. I have plenty seven petal 260 cages.

Thanks to all that posted.

Thanks Again!!
