Look !cnc Machining Custom Parts

[texasholdem]

hi i am new to these forums .i am prepared to offer my services to the members .

i have access to a cnc lathe with live tooling and also a machine centre "mill'.

my proposal is if anyone has any ideas /parts they would like to have cnc machined and there is a interest in it on the forum to make it worth making ,i am prepared to make parts .obviously the person that has the idea will recieve their part for free or for cost of material if it goes to manufacture.

prefer to make cosmetic parts or bolt on like brake res caps /covers etc you may have seen a part for another make/model car or don't know where to buy the part from .no performance parts like turbo bov etc

start sending your ideas

How about a caliper relocation bracket to fit larger 324mm discs? I can find a photo somewhere...

To be honest, i have done this brake conversion on a car. Its really not a good setup at all, as to make the pad gat close to full contact on the rotor, we had to machine a lot of alloy out of the calliper to suit the different diameter rotor, which is certainly highly illegal , as it weakens the calliper, and even after taking enough metal off the calliper that the bolts holding the two halves of the calliper were exposed, even then the pad hung off the edge of the disc, which obviously isnt good for pad wear and brake performance. Although it seems like a good upgrade, the end result is definately a and could never be properly engineered

i have done a few brake conversion kits and wondered how it would go with the extra dia on the disc .

if someone had done it and could supply a sample to copy it would be easier .i dont really want to pull my car apart to jig up a caliper if it isnt a really good conversion .

my wife uses our r34 as a daily so a brake kit is something that would take time .

more interested in making bolt on bits or cosmetic bits .billet strut brace mounts etc would be easier to make . i will have a look over the car the next few days for suggestions and see what ideas i can come up with
