    Those are actually originals from the factory, one piece. They made a few different style uprights, this was from an later Griffith, maybe Vixen. These were only remove and replace the two rods , bore and bush them as well as the top bore. You can see they are much more substantial than the...

    Welding a driveshaft yoke.

    Stellrammer Member 53 minutes ago Add bookmark #1 I’ve had to replace the centering yoke attaching to a cardan joint. The previous runout on this and the corresponding counter weights was considerable. I have the replacement part in place and running within .002”( phased to within half a...

    A lot of the things on my bucket list were resolved by replacing the B with an F, and I’m much happier for it.

    81 Mustang, 200 ci . In late 79 the 2.8 v6 Cologne engine was no longer available in qty to supply the US market, Ford switched back to the ancient 200 straight six, Lima Ohio.

    What did you do for a career and would you pick it again?

    I had never considered sales, as I am an introvert by nature, but I learned something after going into sales quite by accident. In sales you can potentially make as much money as a doctor or lawyer, and not have massive debt and 7 years of uni. In Industrial sales you can get by on charm, but...

    I’m on board with that program. I don’t need another squirrel to chase right now, and I do hate cast iron dust. And they have the equipment, the knowledge and they are really nice people. You should see the horrendous machine marks on this head, from the factory, on sealing surfaces, .015”...

    I’ve been doing NLA parts for Lotus and TVR for quite some time now, a lot of idiosyncrasies from the early days of UK manufacturing to be avoided, or duplicated.

    Bearing Housing for Griffin

    I recognize those, I’ve machined several sets from raw castings, a bit difficult to extrapolate tolerances from an ancient original one, with conventional measuring equipment.

    The finish you are getting is is making me think about trying out similar operations, traditionally cast iron milling was carried out with ground, double negative inserts. I wonder whether they would hold up better under those conditions than the positive style, a lot of hammering on them ,even...

    That makes perfect sense, the anodizing. Being a drive coupling most likely a hard anodizing, which becomes part of the material, almost akin to a chemical hardening into the surface. I used to rebore aluminum vacuum pumps and have them hard anodized to prevent wear in the bore. Minimum $150...
