Well, there were 7 dwarfs (correct?). I'll bet they work pretty cheap as they can't reach high enough to set things on counters but they can set stuff on a chunk of billet. 

So, if each one brought a bearing to you and three went back for the other three, paying $0.50/bearing shipping and handling I suppose it works out to $3.50.  Other than that I got nothin'.  I'm just wondering what dwarfs are doing in what is obviously shaping up to be one helluva Christmas story.

Still haven't figured out why they sleeved 'em though...........

Throttle body!  That's a good guess, especially with the throttle shafts requiring small bearings...

A mini roots supercharger for a snow blower, you could bolt four Walboro carbs on top.

Heo is on the money! Going to have a go at making two throttle bodies using Holley 600 throttle plates. Going to need to buy a boring head and its going to take some time on my little mill but I need some excuse to get out in the shed. That large block of ally will get cut in half and do two.

Base plate progress.
