Hey Doug - no sheet metal. I'm talking about just having the foil cut. Apparently it's tough on cutting blades, were I to have badge sized ovals and shapes cut, then they'd also have to be printable. Still looking into it - will let you know.

Doug that internal muffler is available new I've seen them before and have them on my Star kit. Tho for the life om I can't remember where. If I'm not mistaken Gibraltar makes them.

As I mentioned before:

Gibraltar's may work, but it is no 1-to-1-copy of the genuine Star part.

Thank you gentlemen! I'll hold out for an authentic Star part for awhile. If I cannot locate one I may go the Gibraltar route as JohnL suggests.

Thanks again,

Peeking around ebay yesterday I came across a circa 80s Tama muffler that was labeled "one touch". Do you think one of these might work? The seller wants $44.95 plus shipping and that seems horribly steep but ...

My first input on this:

Wow! I love that wrap! The guys giving input so far haven't steered you off into oblivion! They're the best 'Star' and MIJ folks on the site... so I'll shut up! lol

Nice find, and not too expensive in my book.

Fishwaltz - Your input and opinions are most welcome, in particular when you are complimenting. hehe

Lots of really good help on this project (both tangible in the form of parts, and the intangible in the form of encouragement/expertise). I dig this place.

And I just noticed - I went from 'member' to 'contibuting member'. Must be my incessant posting on this thread. Thanks for your patience VDF.

I'm not real sure, but I think that's a bit pricey for that... let me look around and see if I have any.

To speak chronologically, the TAMA damper isn't the correct choice ...

And that price is far out of what it's worth. :2Cents:

... especially as I don't use my 'One touch tone control' dampers, just love to see them being the genuine ones in place ...

Sounds pretty pricey to me. I'd keep lookin' :)
