Thanks. He just likes making pieces for friends. Doesn't need the money plus is quite ill I think so has to rest frequently.

The relocated PSU all fires up as it should.

New, bigger fan is quieter. Haven't properly fixed the IEC connector on the base section yet.

12V wires just stuffed through where the duct will go when the enclosure sits atop:

I like your idea of the slide-out components for easy access. If/when I put together a 3D printer, I might borrow that idea.

Building rear seat squabs. This cover is in Nautelex Marine vinyl, for my project and is close to being ready to fit to the base when I have done the end caps.

Here is one I made for a customer, last week for fitting himself...

Test on a piece of anodised aluminium of the engraving I will hopefully do on the top clamps I am making (currently being anodised)
CRF letters are 8mm high, 1100 is 3mm, came out better than I thought it would.

I've got to make a bearing today, just about to pick the old one up to replicate it. Never done it before so wish me luck

obviously there will be a full report on the proceedings !

 

[bourbon]

there would be, BUT. Having looked at the bearing. I really think it is out of my capability to do it. dimensions are 2.5mm inside 5.85mm outer and 4.1mm length so tiny. If anyone knows a supplier I would be very greatful. _So far, we have managed to find these. but only need one, two at most.

@bourbon
Can you post a pic of the old knackered one?

 

[Hood]

Did these.

Now have one fitted to my bike, apart from the ugly bolt head, oem ones are reduced hex flanged but as I have the riser I made I needed longer so just standard head. I will hopefully be able to source some reduced head ones.

Can't compete with China, material costs me more than they sell stuff for.
