Made the suspension linkage bolts in titanium with aluminium nuts. Unfortunatly i did'nt have time to thread the last bolt but you get the idea.

Re: NC 30 dry clutch and several other trick bits
Great work. What lathe/machines are you running? I'd like to see some pictures of the parts been made if you have any.
I'm just getting in to machined myself.

I just do it after hours at work so only a Holbrook lathe and a Bridgeport mill. And very occasionally the cnc machine with some bribery.TURK122 wrote:Great work. What lathe/machines are you running? I'd like to see some pictures of the parts been made if you have any.

Re: NC 30 dry clutch and several other trick bits
Out of curiosity, why did you choose aluminium nuts to go with the titanium bolts?
I would have thought that for something as important as the suspension linkage you'd opt for something stronger, such as steel or titanium?

Re: NC 30 dry clutch and several other trick bits
The reason for not using titanium nuts is they don't work very well with Ti bolts. You need 2 gallons of copper slip and they still don't really do up tight tight. After spending the time and effort making Ti bolts i was not going to put a steel nut on them and besides some things screw into the aluminium frame which is cheese in comparrison to a peice of 7075 aluminium. The nuts dont do anything anyway they just stop the bollt falling out all of the force is sheer force on the bolt.SPOONDIDDLY wrote:Out of curiosity, why did you choose aluminium nuts to go with the titanium bolts?

To answer your question this is the only photo i have of the machining.TURK122 wrote:Great work. What lathe/machines are you running? I'd like to see some pictures of the parts been made if you have any.

Is that a rotating centre That's been ground,
If so how do you stop it rotating.

No it is just a dead center (does'nt spin) and is ground away to clear the tool.hunter wrote:Is that a rotating centre That's been ground,
