The way copper costs these days you’d think it was precious :eek3
They make both aluminum and copper HE’s for many different applications. Mostly aircraft/aerospace shit, which is probably why they get away with charging six arms and two legs for the cores! Pic I posted was an aluminum core. They are a french aerospace company that’s a subsidiary of Honeywell. I hate french and took four years of the crap in college. Major fail in the translation department.
Most of the information I’ve gatherd on them is from a porschephile named Ralph who used to work at Andial back in the 90’s, and Steve Becker from Precise Machining(porsche engine specialist) who was the shop forman for Porsche Motorsports during the 962 group C era but remained a consultant for awhile thereafter into the late 90’s as well. Met both over the years in my travels and amongst the Porsche community works(Rennsport Reunion is where I met Ralph). He was the one who told me about their use on the 993 GT2 and 993/996 GT(GT1) chassis. If memory serves me correct, copper was used on the GT2 and aluminum on the GT1’s
You can buy the cores from RS tuning in europe, when such cores exist that don’t have a list of names attached to them.
You’re right. Stupid crazy shit!
