The problem with the decals or whatever they are on the 440 Pie Pans are
that the surface to which they are applied is not a flat surface - it is a
cone shape with a slope of about 30 degrees from flat. Thus the decal has
to be able to conform to a cone surface.
There are a seemingly unlimited supply of these pie pans in the flat, with
the graphics already applied - probably a vendor overproduction or mistake.
Our buddy Frank Mitchell runs these on eBay all the time.
What we need is a way to stretch form these into the complex "coolie hat"
shape we need to install on our air cleaner lids. We need someone with a
100 ton press and the ability to make the dies.
