Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Cheers mate, the house is on hold for a bit, so pushing the bike and getting some bits done on this that need doing while trying not to spend lots of £££ on it! I've ordered a caliper kit and loads of bolts from jap land but thats not cost a great deal anyway. And the labour is free anyway! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Well the axles ready and waiting till I can get the car on the ramp for the weekend so I can paint under the car while the axle is out. So I started to make a new catch tank Rob H style! The welding is still not upto scratch but Im working on it! Its a bit overkill but it wouldn't be mine if it wasn't. Cut and folded, then welded up to form the tank. Then welded the AN-10 fittings onto plates and made baffles for them Then welded plates to the inside of the tank to bolt the fittings onto so they can be removed to be cleand. Then drilled and tapped the holes, dropped a bollock with one of them tho lol Next was to make the filter housing/ lid I fancied trying something different with this! its made from 12mm billet plate! This bit took about 4 hours lol all done by hand on the milling machine! the smaller letters I had to drill as holes and then file them out. counter drilled the holes so the bolt heads sit flush with the surface too! Next was the sight glass also made from 10mm billet plate! Made a bolt to secure it to the battery clamp bracket. As it looks now before finishing off More to come soon!
