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.

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

2kgs!!!!! Will the car move with that extra weight?!?!?!? :lol:

JynX 14-04-2004 07:51 AM

Mine moves with a crap load more then 2Kg extra weight in it :)

dfvadr 14-04-2004 04:54 PM

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

pr1mo 14-04-2004 06:02 PM

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

BigMal 17-04-2004 10:52 PM

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

pr1mo 18-04-2004 05:53 PM

mal just ring up whiteline... they will sell u plates for $50 :)

cheers mike
