Repop Parts

[tjw]

I have read the above " Poll " posting about reproduction parts, in this posting 1934calkid uses the Hogan Heads as an example of reproduction parts. Before using some ones product as an example how about researching that maker's products and get the facts correct about a product this person clearly know's very little about. I quote what has been written " New Ron Hogan Heads being remade and sold as Ron Hogan heads " They are not sold as Ron Hogan Heads in fact they have always been sold as Hogan Heads and they are NOT REPRODUCTIONS. It is very clear to me that they know very little about this Hogan product and it's history. In fact i will go as far as saying that these comments that have been made are very misleading.

READ THE FACTS ABOUT THIS PRODUCT.
The Hogan Flathead V8 Twin plug heads were made in New Zealand by the late Ron Hogan. The patterns for these heads were made from scratch, designed and made by Ron Hogan himself. He did not use another individuals pattern and rename it as some one has suggested may have happened. When Ron Hogan passed away the patterns were inherited by his son Garth Hogan and are still owned by Garth today. The patterns that are being used to produce these heads today are NOT new patterns. THE SAME ORIGINAL PATTERNS ARE BEING USED that Ron used and the heads are still made only in New Zealand. MADE WITH THE ORIGINAL PATTERNS , OWNED BY THE SAME HOGAN FAMILY so they are clearly not reproductions.

Cheap isn't good and good isn't Cheap! Buy OEM when ever possible and of course it will cost more. At least back yesterday USA manufactures had pride and morals in manufacturing more so than off shore back yard manufactures of today. If possible refurbish your old parts it may cost more in time and material than a reproduction part but at least you know what you have. You decide left or right picture

Thanks for reading my previous posting. I would like to thank all of you who have sent an email to mycar1932@hotmail.com thanking me for posting the information on the Hogan Twin Plug Heads. It is great to receive so many favourable comments about the Hogan Heads. A few of you have asked about the Mac's Flathead V8 and Model A T5 bell housing adapters. We hope to have these on sale in the USA later this year. I will be putting up a posting on The Ford Barn soon. In the meantime here are a couple of photo's. The photo of the Model A bellhousing is a RHD one but we also do them in LHD for the USA market. If you need any information on these please email us. Thanks Terry

I have also been asked about the Flathead V8 Twin distributor Timing cover i am about to make. In a couple of weeks i will be starting to make the pattern to have it cast and machined. It will be similar in design to the one on the engine in the photo. This new product will be for sale in about 8 weeks. If you are interested in one send me a message. Thanks Terry

Terry without true hot rod entrepreneurs like you hard core hot rodders who live and breathe flatheads would be going at it like gladiators in an arena scrounging for the fast disappearing old stock that me be up for grabs to the death! I can only sincerely thank you for your effort in keeping such a high quality product alive, I will definitely order a set of these heads for my latest roadster project. You have inspired me mate.

People like 1934calkid unfortunately will always be around to try and kick true hottrodders like you in the nuts for what ever reason he may have??? but you need to keep persevering and I have no doubt your products will shine try in the end regardless of what the troublesome 3% try to do.

In reply to the 1934 calkid senior member that resides in florida. Interesting subject you have chosen on reproduction parts. We hotrod ers have known about reproduction parts for a long time, give us that much credit. Most interesting that you use the Hogan Heads as your prime example. Sir, as you should know by now the Hogan twin plug heads are made to the highest degree of quality and material. Made by Garth Hogan in NZ. I will correct you, these are not reproduction heads as you have described. Now senior member make sure you do your research next time you have something to say. Best regards......Jerry Hopkins

While I may not agree with some of the comments of the original poster . . . seems that his thread has been hijacked to become an advertisement for Hogan and Mac's. Should probably start another thread and get into all the details and promote as such. I for one, do want to hear all about the new products.
