Stuff you have made today

[badabec]

A mess. Scraped off the bituminous sound deadening from the DS engine bay. I also removed all the hydraulic lines in readiness to re-plumb the hydraulics, takes about 30m of 4.5mm Kunifer. And the cam action flaring tool I bought for my Frogeye Sprite (and never used) won't do Citroen flares. So now I have both types.

Some blue swarf. Cant find my
pea shooter anywhere and it was rubbish. Had a cheap flow meter that I dont use so repurposed.

Cap and plunger for swarf wand. Tested magnets they lift 6+kg each, reduced to 1kg in the tube, so I put two in lifts 2kg.

PCD inserts great on alu.

Body done.

An edge finder for the mill:

Did you lap the intersection?

 

[DennisCA]

I did, using stones. I also lapped both parts against each other with lapping fluid. I think it might be overkill though.

Yup .. request for teeth on a basket grab , sometimes you do have to wonder what they're thinking . Sometimes I regret asking , sometimes I don't ask , this time I didn't ask , if it comes back in two parts they can buy a new one .

Looks like a beast of a bucket.

For us that's one of the light ones , I selected that as it's going on a machine that has a tool weight limit of 2.7 ton . We have them three times that size .

Such as that beast 8.5 ton of mechanical pulveriser , specified it to be as indestructible as possible , the man didn't let us down haha

Nearly at the end of this one, but I ran out of handles. Still needs the final angle 'tweaked' so that they don't slide forward off the rack - another 'small but annoying' project out of the way.



Now, what's next.....oh yes.

Got the access hatch/vent thingy welded up today.

Front and side view.

Removable vent plate.

Sitting in the orientation it will when fitted, the vent panel is secured with 4x m10 set screws tapped into the main section and the vent fitted over them and wing nuts to secure.
