have a machinist that will make anything


Recommended Posts

i talked to my buddy yesterday who owns a machine shop and asked him if he could make adapters for wheels, cv joints and so on. he said it would be know problem if i got him the plans. if anyone out there is good with auto cad and would want to take the time to produce plans let me know and i can have it made. he said you can make anything fit it just comes down to how bad you want it and how good your machinist is.lol

let me know or just email me 2thumbs.gif

Biohzrd, were you looking for those parts yourself? (wheel adaptors/CV adaptors etc?). I've already spent the XXX hours designing/drafting (outsourced, not a favourite of mine!)/prototyping above items for production. Anyone willing to spend the time it requires to repeatedly measure a part for production (one off's are totally different generally), design it KEEPING IN MIND ease of machining/production etc drop me a line. I've done this and it's a time vaccuum. Feel free to check out my offerings on my web or email me for any custom quotes. Scottie already offered up the CV adaptors via his machinist friend and lost $ in the end. I now offer them at his intended revised pricing. It's surprising the material removal required overall and attention to detail to nail down our particular bolt patterns with accuracy necessary for their applications/proper fitment and this adds up quick (ask me how I know).

 

Machinists will always make anything with proper production drawings and $ in hand. Some with their $$$,$$$ machines are far more qualified to knock of some higher precision pieces than others.

 

No knock intended on your open offering to the forum which is very gracious and to be applauded. I've received 'completed plans' myself before and they were rarely ever complete for their intended purpose and as such if you jump in as middleman bewarned their are many issues that can arise which at a minimum ONLY take time and at the max vaccuum $ and potential relations.

 

Having said that I greatly enjoy and appreciate custom Z parts and have been learning TONS about the A to Z process and just wanted to impart a little.
