Popular Post Stellaghost Posted April 29 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 29 Bigger diameter table knocked up for extending rotary table to allow beadlock rings to sit on for drilling drilled and tapped for little clamps holes drilled, clearance and tapping holes for m8 cap heads due to table extension making the divisions hard to see I decided to go with 10 degree divisions due to every 10 degree mark extending higher up allowing me to align them easier, so 36 holes in all, should be ok regards Stephen 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Who needs them when you have nice connectors Connectors, crimps, housing, PCB sockets were £3 on Aliexpress with £12 shipping that mysteriously went up each time you increased the quantity. Still £15 for a waterproof housing with proper connectors isn't bad. 27 minutes ago, Stellaghost said: You will have to wise me up to what it's for..

Stellaghost Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 Wheel centre progressed Set up on rotary table outer holes taken out with a hole saw, 10 in total then wheel stud holes drilled out and chamfered centre is obviously still to come out, but i will need to track down a suitable hole saw first just concentrating on one wheel at the moment until I'm happy with positioning and how it looks Regards Stephen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Poore Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 30 minutes ago, Stellaghost said: centre is obviously still to come out, but i will need to track down a suitable hole saw first I got a cheap set off Amazon that went up to about 6" and has actually surprised me how resilient they've been to abuse despite only costing about £40 for the set. I've got a bigger (I think) 8" one if that's any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
