I intend on making myself titanium connecting rods. Don't tell me its a bad idea. I'm already set on doing it. BUT, I want input on the exact shape. I'm assuming that the structure has to be a little different to downplay brittleness in titanium. Porsche factory did titanium. Does anyone have one that could take a picture for me?

You're the best.
It took about three times as long. But I think (after the coatings) that I've got every thing I need to make a move on this. I'm doing a test part out of aluminum. I guess I'll let everyone see that. Then I'll take that to my financial backer for revision and fitting to his 356s. Hopefully, I'll have something dynamic here. I may or may not be able to post pictures of the finished part. I'm going with a "low drag" shape that won't be a part of the test piece and may have to stay a secret. I've got a rocket scientist and 3 engineers to turn to if I have failure problems in the test stages. And people really said I couldn't do it. I've already got three variations of cnc progs layed out. So if anyone knows those coatings, That's what I need. |
