Here’s a few with different angles. Hopefully they help.

Thanks Nick. I got a new Precision Mathews 12x36 lathe. And I lucked out and found a 2 hp Ex-Cell-O mill in good condition at an auction for crazy cheap.

Thanks Randy. I’m not sure how I’ve gone this long without a lathe. I have to say it’s looking like the most versatile tool I have now. I see why machine shops charge so much for one off pieces like this. I have around 12 hours in them, some of that was from the learning curve but not as...

Just got done machining the most expensive crank case breather fittings in history. These fittings are the main reason I decided to buy the mill and the lathe. I never liked how the ones I welded up looked (the welded ones are the black fittings in the first pictures. I needed something that...

I’ll get a few more taken for you. Unfortunately it will be with the nose attached.

Thanks for the suggestion Chris, I hadn't thought about splitting the seats like that. I will give it a shot and see how it works. Thinking about it now, I would bet it gives close to another inch of head room. Thanks, Sean

I would suggest taking the rocker arms off as they are correct about that. Sorry didn’t mention that’s the other thing I did for storage.

If you can find it in small amounts in your area, Cortec VpCL 322 is excellent to preserve the engine oil with. I was lucky and got a quart of it, looks like most places sell it in 5 or 55 gallon QTYS only. And its expensive... You only need ~10% of it to oil, it gives off a vapor that attaches...

Hi, Just thought I would share this information with everyone. It was very helpful for me to help choose which transmission I should get. I never shared it before since it wasn't allowed due to being an excel file, but just realized I could ZIP it and share. It is currently set up with gear...

Received the lathe this week. Now i have a functional machine shop at the house.

I had made up my mind to remove the roll cage, but I decided to try one more thing before I started to cut. I reclined the seats a little more. I moved the bottom cushion about 2” farther forward. This netted almost 3” more headroom. The roll cage is still close to my head, but I think I have...

It definitely came out looking great sir! Dang it, now I want to add one. :rolleyes:

Im interested in this oiling system for the G50 now. That looks really cool. Do you have more information on it? Is this something you designed or a kit?

Made repairs to the Mill and got it up and running. Learned a few things about what not to do along the way.

Thanks, Im still having fun every minute I get time to work on it though.

Its mostly life getting in the way these days, job has me traveling alot now. Also doesnt help I decided to learn how be a machinist... although I have a very long way to go before I can call myself one. I plan to build a Cobra next, the wife is really wanting one. Ive been looking at the FFR...

I like the way the springs look, although I wondered about the heat too. I also wonder how they do with the ceramic coatings, do they rub them off the pipes?

It’s hard to believe it’s been 2 years since taking delivery of this beautiful car from RCR. Really thought I would be a lot further along by now.

Nice, thank you Adrian!

Bumping this old post to see what everyone is using for the hold down springs these days. Looks like the previous links in this thread are all obsolete. Im trying to source these type of springs to hold my pipes in place.
