I have a Triumph TR6 and my son has an MGB. British Heritage makes all of the body panels (I had to replace about half the sheet metal on my car) and reportedly obtained the dies by tracking them down after the collapse of British Leyland. What happened to the corresponding 914 dies after production ceased?

Anyone who has watched the Porsche 3 d printed piston video won’t doubt the capability of 3D printed metal. Size might be an issue for body panels...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) got a link. i am curious. not a doubter, just still wondering how. ie forging and all that stuff. the germans are masters of steel too, so if they can do it, ..... when it comes to steel three countries count, the usa, japan and germany. we used to make good steel here, but its all been shut down. my old man was a top ticket welder trained by japanese ship builders. so i am into this stuff, but not a welder or steel man myself. in my game, construction, the printing stuff is just total bs. its so bad at this stage. |
