    Re: What do people want/need?

    I notice on mine the mounting holes for the bar are elongated so you can adjust the position. Looking at James mount's which has a normal hole perhaps this was done by a previous owner or a mod by Devil to overcome the issue with it hitting the bonnet ?.

    Re: What do people want/need?

    Yeah thats like the one i have here the holes have be modified like oval which i can do pr just put a normal bolt hole in? but im gonna be doing them so there slightly different to over come the bonnet issue,

    All depending on materials cost once iv sorted that but atm price in mind £130-150, will do these cheap as i can like i say depending on material cost, im not going to overkill the price and be greedy, so could be cheaper could be more thats why i wanna put all info up once iv got the prices,

    Rather help people out in the club, also been thinking about a rtoc only thing instead of facebook etc so if people want one then theyd have to join and maybe set it up through club shop?

    Hi James, Yeah I could quite possibly do it for you. The mount you can see was pretty much done by hand and took hours. Probably 5 hours work using wet and dry, scrotchbrite pads, my rubbish polishing wheel, and Autosol. However I am going to try the other mount using the old mans bench mounted polishing wheel. If that turns out to be OK, and a lot quicker, I can do yours mate. I might even even have a spare Devil sticker to finish it off for you

    Totally agree with this!!

    And I agree with making them exclusive to club members too. Another reason to join our merry band!

    Good lad re the shop. It's the way forward. We need to make our club as attractive as possible.

    Cheesey sticker????? Lol. Maybe supply both the devil sticker and the cheesey sticker with the brace. Let the buyer put on what they want then.

    And once again-top job for going thru with this

    Re: What do people want/need?

    The professionals use a very large floor standing version of the bench grinder. The cloth wheels are more like 30cm across and a maybe 10cm wide.

    I used to take Alu and brass parts to a man up the road from here and he'd do a turbo compressor in about 15 minutes. Left drag marks though so not as good as in the photo above but most people were very happy with it.

    I then tried out to London Chroming and did get a better finish but they took the P on the price, saying one thing, then charging two or three times that, so something, so I didn't go there again.

    180>320>600 wet and dry>1200wd>1500wd

    then i just bought a kit for drill of ebay for like £15 And done it with the drill
