are you talking to me?

 

[Hood]

Great job, were all the cables and wiring long enough to suit the extra height?

Yes, plenty, can go easily another 10mm, probably more but I just needed the 20mm to allow me to rotate the bars rearward a bit.

 

[Hood]

are you talking to me?

Not a clue, I talk to anyone but sometimes have to draw the line

... but you do understand that I was congratulating you on your work and trying to make fun of our TÜV in contrast to your MOT, right?

Yes
But I was answering the part where you said

I turned a piece of aluminum into a thinner piece of aluminum, with some holes and a cool pattern.



I could get used to this CNC stuff.

I'm not sure if I can say what it's for, it would probably be fine but why risk it. It's purpose isn't interesting or exciting, the exciting part is I'm learning to use Edgecam.

I didn't think aluminum was available on this side of the Atlantic

Really?

A whole new world of temptations opens up ...

Hazet is, next to Gedore, the second big old German tool manufacturer that has survived and is important until today.

HAZET was founded in 1868 by Hermann Zerver. The brand name "HAZET" has its roots in the written out initials of the founder, the "H" (pronounced "Ha" in German) for Hermann and the "Z" (pronounced "Zet" in German) for Zerver. 

HAZET is in the fifth generation of family ownership.

Good stuff, proudly priced.

I used to work a lot for MAN printing machinery, they always supplied Hazet socket sets and tools with their machines. Top notch tools, I especially liked the little 1/4” sets they used to supply

Couple of small tanks and an airbox I'm working on for a very special car

Beautiful stuff as always Cheesie!

This afternoon I rigged up a mist coolant setup temporarily to see if it would work.

It did, turned up here so the camera could see, normally the coolant will be hardly visible.

I then added a solenoid and some plumbing then wired it up to the mist coolant output.

Next I have to work out where to mount the tank and also how I will fix the nozzle to the column as it can't be attached to the head unfortunately due to the design of the basket tool changer.

It is if it's been lying in a shed for a very long time.

today my new race engine made noise for the very first time.

granted it has no ecu, no ht leads, no engine loom, no plugs in etc etc, but its first ever rotation of its own making....
