I have workt with the door hinges and must drill out every screw to them
I will thred the holes with M8 and use insex bolts insred of philips screws

New to the H.A.M.B. and this thread is absolutely AMAZING!! Its one thing that you are building everything yourself.. quite another that you are taking the time to document the build. Thank you!

 

Thanks for the coments



I threded the holes with M8 threds



And put in new insex screws that holds the hinge

/Stefan

 

Very cool. I have one I need to fix. M8? is that 8mm? isn't that close to 5/16" or am I thinking the wrong way? Seems smaller than stock, but the hole looks to be the stock one just retapped. So it can't be smaller than stock, right?

 

You are complety right.
I drill out with 6.8 mm and tread them it worked on 14 of them well but 2 were necesary to put a nut on the backside. and M8 is little bigger than 5/16 but only .05 mm

 

Stefan, I do believe your English is improving!! Muy bueno.

 

Very cool work you are doing. Thanks for showing your skill to us! peace

 

yea i had to use a few nuts on mine too. but i got lucky, all came out with an impact! but a few threads were way gone!

 

Thanks for all the coments



I have made armrest to behind to rear seat in Stainless steel
I will maybe dress them. They will be screw to the playwood sides


/Stefan

 

Stefan looks like you got company in your shop

 

I can do some thing on my work. I have posiblity to use laser cuter and bending machine hydralic press milling machine and lathe. And there is tig welder and pipe bendrs too and even key way saw.

 

I guess he ment that furry little creature on the cardboard,not the firm where you work

Stefan!! Take the paper off that stainless and show us!! You never cease to amaze us.

 

Thanks for all the coments

I will not take of the plastic from the ss before i have deside to if i want to dress them becase of risk of scratches.

And now shall go germany for work tomorow.

/Stefan

 

I agree S.S is very easy to scratch considering it's a harder metal.
On that note: send more pics!

 

very impressive...but MAN! I can't believe you don't have some sort of heat in that garage.....looks like time well spent on the roof, it totally changed the car..good luck!

 

Not much to say other than your the man....unblievable talent.

 

Thanks for all the coments

I have begin with making collectors to the headers i shall make to the flathead.



I begin to roll sheet metal to cones 88,9mm to 63.5mm [3 1/2" to 2 1/2"]
And i have press it in a lathe chuck with the insert i the big end.
The header pipe i think to use is 42x1.5 [1 3/8"x .06"].

/Stefan

 

Damn, that's a good idea. You lasered the shape of the die, put it in the big end and closed the chuck to shape the collector, correct?

 

Yes Correct

 

looking good Stefan! hows the weather there?

 

It was nice weather here today with -1 C [30F] and sun.
and her's little snow. For 1 weeks ago were it 40 cm [16"] snow but now is only 0 to 10cm [4"]
