I am not really happy with it too

But I didn't really find a good alternative.
I have no tooling for Countersunk screws in Wood. And they need to be done far more precisely then my Woodworking skills allow

Screws with ultra thin Heads like BN9524 are not available in the moment or at all in dimensions like M8x25.

Maybe I will give threaded Inserts (DIN 7965) a try but I do not have confidence that the wood will not crack.

Lens flange screw ( I am not shure if thats the correct english Term) DIN EN ISO 7380-2 would have a Headsize similar to



but are less annoying to use. (If the security aspect isn't necessary).

Anyone with a brilliant Idea?

Shallow dome-headed coach bolts.

Search for furniture bolts, they're a shallow wide head with a hex socket to drive them, used on wooden furniture, a slightly counter bored hole is all that's required (use a forstner bit the size of the head to do the pocket first then drill through the middle for a clearance hole for the thread/shank)

These - last night actually. Even the steel one will be binned, but in the meantime it will serve purpose.

Fill in your holes and screw from below.

To raise the washer marks, trying ironing a damp cloth over the area. It should swell the wood and raise it.

Made some good progress on the race car today, got the floor riveted on and the rear suspension painted, annoyingly though when cleaning the diff and changing its bearings ready for refitting I found some cracks in it

 

[selectedgrub]

Not to be outdone by @Barking Mat I downloaded version 6.2.

MX5 diff?

 

[Cobbler]

MX5 diff?

If it’s mk1 MX5, I have an empty case here if needed.

Yesterday and today, made the final (I hope) set of pegs. Just need to sort out anodising now.

 

[Kram]

Look great, clear coat them as they are?

A bit sharp and stabby for my liking, I once had a cbr6 gear lever poking out of the front soft bit of my ankle, my own fault for wearing the wrong footwear!

 

[Hood]

Thinking black would be best but second choice is clear. Hard anodised might actually be quite good as it goes a dark grey I believe but just not finding any place that does small jobs at a reasonable cost so likely will buy a kit and try myself.

They are not too bad, some are much more jagged for grip offroad. I always wear boots so not an issue.

 

[Memmeddu]

So today I've worked on a thrash truck in the morning
And welded a lot this evening
Repaired some cracks on a CAT D4 carriage we are line boring and fittings new bushings on the carriage main pin and the sway bar.
Then I've repaired some cracks on a truck tire machine .
Then I've charged a shaft on three different journals (two bearings and an oil seal)
I've literally burnt a pack of electrodes ,I've didn't used a mig welder today.
I did yesterday to weld an exhaust cat.

Little bit funny Story ,boss started to weld a thing , after few seconds he called me to do it myself.
I think that I'm making progress and they recognise my little experience in welding

Just use them as they are, if you are not happy with then they can be changed relatively easily.

I would like them to not corrode and also anodising will make them a bit more wear resistant.

...yea saw them flats on top, i meant slightly round the sharp square edges off. If i still had them i would take a pic of my boots after having a very similar type peg on my old Explorer 1200
