You need to do the brake pedals lever nextDecided, instead of just anodising the brake pedal to match the foot pegs I made that I would re-design the pedal to look more like the peg design. Designed last night and got it machined, anodised, etched and fitted today.

I have done the lever, did it a while back but it didn't take the dye that well, maybe the grade.You need to do the brake pedals lever next
I meant to ask about the anodising, I assume you anodise then etch after to get the contrast.
Have you tried etching first, I assume the etch is deep enough that it would show up quite nicely after, but without the contrast..?
Do you ever sleep!Decided, instead of just anodising the brake pedal to match the foot pegs I made that I would re-design the pedal to look more like the peg design. Designed last night and got it machined, anodised, etched and fitted today.
Wouldn't have allowed me to do some machining thoughA length of string or rope would've been a lot easier.
That's not going to break!Finished the profiling of the first side of the part I machined last year.

Flipped over and did the other side, my 10mm Alu cutter is needing replaced but did the rest as it is not totally important for this part so will swap out now this is done.

Fits together nicely, needs a good whack to fit together

And with a clip in it showing it fits perfectly Just need to anodise now but that will have to wait until tomorrow.

The 3D printed one was strong in most parts but just the wee tabs shown in the 3D model below were not sturdy enough, probably could have redesigned it to be stronger but I know my friend spent a lot of time trying to get it printed so wasn't going to put him through that againThat's not going to break!
Looks like a nice lathe job, turn the outer profile and bore out the centre, then it just needs cutting in half and the half a hole filing out to a triangle.I want to make some new threaded clamps to replace this rubbish U bolt thing. 11mm deep 45 degree to cut out, looks like I am doing two of them by hacksaw and file!

Yes that may have been a good idea, cut two halves and bore out together, but I did t see your message and dont have the chuck fitted on lathe and Im very lazy about swapping it.Looks like a nice lathe job, turn the outer profile and bore out the centre, then it just needs cutting in half and the half a hole filing out to a triangle.
It looks way bigger...Just made a 20mm riser from a piece of 2.5" x 2" x 130mm 6082 which, once anodised, will be winging its way to Aruba.
First op.
