JAM Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I got tired of looking at the painted cast TC and designed this one. It should be stronger than stock, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aokman Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Wow that's a nice bit of metal, should try chamfer the edges for an even more premium look, let us know if you ever sell them in the future :) I love pretty bits especially when they are in front of me most of the time lol.

JAM Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Thanks for the critiques. Here are the reasons why it is flat on top. I machine that side first, top, holes, counter-bores, and tapped holes. Next comes the profile and pockets on the other side. I use a end mill with a radiused corner, so as to not add stress risers on the longer shock clamps. The clamps use stainless pins with two M6 threaded holes each. I was trying to avoid galavanic corrosion, and like that screws can deflect, but shouldn't because of the tight fit. I have a backup, but have not slit the clamps or counterbored it. My first is off to the anodizer, and if you want it, PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
