MORE big lumps mac lol

so d-day today the final cuts.

started today with this.

sized to length and the new diameter for the kawa disc. iv also made a swarf mountain in the making of this dam thing.

but that left me with a problem, how the hell to bolt it to the wheel so heres were i hope id got the internal bores right on the other end or it would fall to bits when i put the profile into it to allow for the mounting bolts

well it didnt fall to bits so thats a result.

i actually feel chuffed how it turned it. a few days of my life il not get back but sure its winter. i now have to drill it but thats the easy bit

.

but did it fit? like a glove. for peace of mind the carrier is a press fit onto the wheel and the same with the disc so all iv to do it drill it,bolt it up and i should be good to go

pass me a beer. :beer:

Nice work Rob, well done

I like the way you have made the carrier a press fit for both the wheel and the disc, very clever

Thanks for posting up the pic's,

Chris.

I can see why you were thinking about fitting another wheel bearing in the new carrier now, as that would also help in keeping the carrier central from the wheel spindle,
