The SRL Argus clone

Just in case there are some who haven't seen it, the boys over at SRL have built an ARgus (V1) clone.

Originally they were using their own valving system but were not happy so they've made a copy of the original.

There's more info and pictures here:

with a slide-show of their work here:

Here are some *very* similar spacers I made a couple of years ago.

Great work but they realy made it to last long. In the orriginal design the thin fins (retainers) or just 1mm thick. These SRL men made it about 2 or 3mm (big loss of airintake in total length). I think they made it from the drawing they show in this link because they didn't make the curve in these retainer fins either. However, great piece of work. For making this curve you need expensive machining if you are not making a casting.
