OPERATION: 'bout time.
after a year of talking about it. finally started work on some handling gear for the stina.
todays mission involved a hunk of billet (purchased 12 months ago), a hacksaw and a 20 tonne press. the result. http://www.webvisions.com.au/000_0174.jpg next stage will involve a milling machine, lathe and lots of polish! it weighs 2 kilos and is about 3 times chunkier than a whiteline one. Dunno if its nessacary but meh. may as well find out! cheers mike |
nobody cares! :x
sobs to ones' self |
lol.. :D I care.. :shock: I swear.. :wink: now now.. dont cry.. its ok.. ..|..
|
hehe somehow the ..|.. 's havent convinced me entirely
cheers mike |
heheh....
1 question, what s a billet? |
Poor Primo's crying out for attention :mrgreen: ..|.. hhehehe
just kidding! |
billet = solid chunk of aluminium pretty much
|
Is that solid aluminum? it would wanna be otherwise it will tear. just be careful
|
yeah shes solid tony no dramas there :)
cheers mike |
surely, and national production starts when???? :p :roll: :wink:
|
hehe i dunno! can do BA's easily enough if anyone wants one. is the BJ the same?
im making a rear one as well. cheers mike |
2kgs!!!!! Will the car move with that extra weight?!?!?!? :lol:
|
Mine moves with a crap load more then 2Kg extra weight in it :)
|
hey mike i might be a bit silly here but shouldn't you have done the machining before you bent it . bit hard to put sumthing like that in the lathe an machine it
|
nah its staying relativley square. the ends will be tapered down with a milling machine and the lathe will be used to turn up the bolts which will screw into it!
cheers mike |
Let me know how you go with making the end plates. I want to make some new
ones as my brace is a BG one I got it way before anyone made one for the BA the brace doesn't sit enough far forward and can foul against the bonnet if not carefull. Best of luck with it Mal |
mal just ring up whiteline... they will sell u plates for $50 :)
cheers mike |
|
