I've enjoyed seeing pics of everyones cars and buildups. Few people wanted me to post some pics of the work in progress and I finally found my digital camera, so here are a few pics:

QUOTE(Mueller @ Sep 28 2004, 02:43 PM) thanks Felix........I'd say those are steel, I wouldn't trust aluminum to last very long in that application ok...I've decided not to use aluminum and don't have a press drill. I want to make sure the adapters are dead on and don't want vibrations. I don't have the final measurement yet since I still need to pickup a 911 axle for one side, but will have it/them by the weekend. I need some help with the adapters since I am totally unfamiliar with machine shops and the type of machine work that i needed. Can anyone recommend a good/cheap machine shop in haward/fremont/sal leandro area? Also, i've tried to locate a place to buy some steel with no local leads as of yet. I did see some places selling on ebay. I'm looking for a cylyndrical piece of steel. I'll have to make sure what the diameter needs to be. I'll check tonight. Hopefully I can find a piece with the diameter that i need. Then then I would need to cut them the appropriate thickness and drill/tap holes. I'd like to have them machined to reduce as much weight as possible and also machine the faces to make sure they are perfectly flat. I'd really appreciate some help on this. |
