wallowed
If you don't have any, a transfer punch setmakes short work of transferring holes. Faster, and more accurate than laying out.The correct technical term is wallared. Attaboy, Charlie. You'll be kicking yourself for not fixing that band saw years ago..
As far as I'm concerned the two indispensable tools in a shop are a drill press and band saw.
Do these 'bags make my butt look big?
It is probably posted (answer) but why could the OEM oil pump / front cover not be used.
Part of the fun of doing a project like this is trying new things, doing it a bit different (for better or worse) than those who have gone before you.
Wonderful machinist skills here... too bad this kind of practical work isn't taught in high schools anymore.
Entertaining thread Charlie thanks for taking the time to post it
Dropped the pump mount off at a local sheet metal shop for bending today. They have the same type of huge press brakes that I used at my first job out of high school. Really no way of doing a good job of it myself and the bending brake my friend has couldn't make a sharp bend in 14 ga. I would have preferred to do it myself and I'm sure this won't be the last time. Thinking about something small and inexpensive to do bending with and thought of this. Anyone ever tried one of these or similar?:http://www.grizzly.com/products/6-Vise-Brake/H3245?utm_campaign=zPage
Thanks for the stories and information- it's very interesting following along.If you are hard up for space and don't mind spending a few bucks, the PDM60 will take the place of fuses and relays. I have one on my Eldo. Power throughput is a little limited, but they work well if you don't have extravagant needs. Or maybe just use it for core electrical draws.http://pdm60.com
There's actually plenty of room for Greg's gang of four relays w/sockets and a flasher. I have a Hella 4 fuse block that will be mounted to the tank bracket to feed power to them and other things.
