Thoughts on Turbo bullets?

[Gaz_]

If you're going to do it, do it properly whole stripe down there with the R5 font and everything...

Now that's awesome, who's is it!?!

Don't know but I had the same car in the same colour with the same wheels (but in black) mine didn't have the strip either thus no picture of mine lol.

no my cnc machine is it bits are there is something wrong with the table.

no idea how a bullet is secured in, but the front if dead easy to machine

Its clipped in, they were the bits I thought would be a pain... I suppose you could weld a few on then machine them to size.

While moving the spindle up today I heard a bang and shat bricks... Had a look and saw nothing, moved up again and another two bangs... I managed to snap the roller sheet (which keeps swarf and s**t off the bit under the bed) clean off lol! Was so lucky the brackets were just welded on. The initial bang sounded expensive

Like the last one but the first idea just looks too 80's for me.

We've got new lathes in college. Out of the 20 or so, 4 don't work at all, several won't go in reverse, the leadscrew keeps falling off another, the drive pulley came off the motor on one the other day and they're all losing a few teeth from the main gears on the end of the gearbox. They're less than 6 weeks old. They're also so puny there's doubts we'll actually be able to machine the final assessment piece with them. Screwcutting big threads is a no-no.

FFS.


To be honest the bullets are better off being standard as in the time it takes to read them you'll already be over the horizon - so they won't be able to read them.

Just go for the standard look thats what im doing try keep it looking standard as possible, as for the gauge ive put mine where the radio and temp display was have a look on page 21

I had thought about something similar, but I decided that half the fun is people not knowing to be honest!

It's easily done

Lol, I love colleges. Buy cheap, buy twice and all that.

Is that the type of screw that has a number of other threads in those casings to reduce/eliminate backlash?

 

[Andy_con]

Yeah its full of bearings, apparently new mine is £800
