Rapine sprue plate

[chuebner]

I was recently given a Rapine 460500 SC mold without sprue plate. Anyone know of a source for a replacement sprue plate?

chuebner if you traced out the top of the mould and sent it that red river rick that hangs out here he could help you or get a hold of the rapine factory and they would help you.

Rapine molds was still in business until fairly recently and may still be.Although I did hear it was for sale.The owner is up in his late seventies and wants to slow down I guess.

Charlie,

It shouldn't be too hard to make one. The only Rapine mold I have is a double cavity; the sprue plate is made from 1/8" flat stock and actually looks quite crude. I think you could make one with a hacksaw and a center drill or countersink for the sprue hole.

Thanks for all the replies. I spoke with the owner yesterday and he said he would scrounge around for a plate. And yes, he has the business up for sale for anyone interested.
