Sounds like you need some pain med. Maybe this ?

From your December 21 post. Take care of yourself, I want to see the Lola finished.

Anyone notice he broke his left wrist, making work on the car difficult, but the right wrist is still fine so he can pick up the drink" :thumbsup:

Hope the bone mends quickly

[Marcus]

Brian, Keith, Ian,...you seem to know me quite well...spooky :shocked:

Dave can testify how much I seek comfort in mugs and mugs full of Glühwein or any other booze coming accross my way :laugh:

Hi Marcus!

you should try to take a look @ this link.
Bending Springback Calculator

Unfortunatelly it is in inches...

this article also looks interesting.
Bending Basics: The hows and whys of springback and springforward - TheFabricator.com

I guess you had this part cad designed, as the rest of the sheet metal work? If so, you should be able to build template/jig for your part.

I don't relly get your problem, but you may need a special bend press with an offseted inside bending die (don't know how to say in english) check this page to understand!

Best of luck for your wristle and you build

Marcus -

Where did you get the orange locking wires in the picture of the mag uprights.
I'd like to get a couple of sets of those.

I tried to send you a private message - but you are out of private message space.

Thanks,
Fran

Marcus-
what is the source on the red safety locking clips in your hub & upright assemblies? Please email me: [email protected]. thanks, Fran Kress

 

[Marcus]

Hi Fran,

email sent...

Best,

Marcus

 

[Olivier S]

Hey Marcus!

Any progress on your build? Did you manage the bending issues?

Olivier

 

[Marcus]

Hi Olivier,

bending issue solved, yet the biggest progress has been made in the area of suspension after only this week I got the message that the control arms, radius rods etc. finally came back from the plater and (hopefully) will be sent to my place next week together with the anti-roll bars, springs and dampers.

Since I already payed for all the stuff (after having guzzled a glass full of Scotch), I´m now hopeful...

Best,

Marcus

 

[Marcus]

Suspension parts have arrived...my thanks go out to Dave for coordinating logistics and Keith for being the most accomplished communication relais of all times :thumbsup:

Fantastic Marcus.
It's so good to see that you are back on this project :thumbsup:

 

[Keith]

Pleased I could help mate. Those parts look the business..:thumbsup:

But you probably could have bought another Panigale for what that lot cost...

 

[Marcus]

But you probably could have bought another Panigale for what that lot cost...

So true :shocked:



Thank you Jimmy!

 

[Brian Kissel]

Absolutely perfect Marcus. Just like everything else on this build. Keep up the excellent work !!

Just for my knowledge, what are the monoball sizes outboard on the lower arms and trailing arms?
