Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket back when i started looking into this for my father, I bought a cheap set that said it had a 13/32 in it. Turned out it wasn't even actually in the set when I opened it, but listed it on the front packaging of the box.

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket I am in.

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Haha,
"Turned out it wasn't even actually in the set when I opened it, but listed it on the front packaging of the box." there is no way in blazes that a commercially mfg 6 pt 13/32 deep socket is actually being made. That is a zebra. There would be absolutely NO application for it in today's world. You would be better off trying to market a commercially made 7-pt deep 77/192 socket!!!! |
Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Hey Tbird, I'll bet you 500 dollars I could make that 7 point 77/192 socket if you really want one, lmao. Gonna need the 500 in advance though to buy the special tooling lol
Bill |
Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Oh, and tbird, just so you know, 77/192 actually works out to 10mm

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Y-Blockhead, good link. I think I saw some of those people there.

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket I am still in for two of these.

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Still in for Two!

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket 1332, haha i am sure you could make that socket! And I just pulled 77/192out of thin air!
But the burning question is, on a 7-pt socket, you measure from where to where? haha LOL Not horribly different than a 5-pt hydrant wrench ? |

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Here's a five sided socket and some penta-bolts:

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Quote:
I could bore everyone with the details of why odd number facets have been used on fasteners and spline shafts, and everything else, but it would be boring, lol. Quite simply put though, lol. Everything round that rotates has a natural harmonic, when the natural harmonic matches some multiple of the revolutions in 360 degrees, you will experience a synchronous, or subsynchronous vibration. So naturally everyone has tried to design around this. Since a circle still always has 360 degrees, people have tried to design odd number fasteners used in line with the rotating component to offset synchronous vibration..........never mind, gonna stop here before I write a book. But it's kinda like when your car shakes at only 35, and 60 or whatever. Things have been balanced, but unfortunately there will always be some sort of distortion or imbalance presented at some components natural harmonic. Usually these vibrations will be directly attributed to the diameter of a specific component..... ok gonna stop. |
Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Just food for thought though. Why are there 3 cylinder diesels and 5 cylinder chevrolet gasoline engines? The ultimate goal of overcoming natural harmonics. The thought is if you break up the 360 degrees unevenly, there will be no natural harmonic, but it doesn't work. I have got to stop. I am sorry I even mentioned any of this stuff on this thread. My apologies.

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Back to the point of this whole thing. At this point, we have confirmation of at least 50 sockets, so that helps immensely with this project.
I will be placing orders for the blanks and tooling tomorrow/Friday. So the project is a go. Just to say it again, it will probably take about 3 weeks or a bit more to fit this run of 100 sockets into my shop schedule. When I eventually sell the 100, it will cover the cost, which is a risk myself, my father, and apparently someone else is willing to take/absorb to see this through, since we all believe there is enough interest to support it eventually. I will keep everyone up to date via this thread on a regular basis so you know where we stand with this project. All who have expressed/re-expressed interest will be notified, prior to the general public, or dealers, or anything else when the sockets are ready. In essence, if you have requested one or more, you will get them before any new interests are fulfilled. I really do appreciate the support of everyone with this undertaking, and the kind words expressed by numerous people during pm's and emails and such. And I do feel privileged to be able to help with this need. Thank you all, Bill |

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket You are correct blockhead. Just like when they roll out a steam turbine generator in a power plant and such, slow till you get lube oil and such for 8-24 hours, when up to temp and pressure, then 3600 rpm to get past the criticals. Little more complex and such, but same kinda thing.

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket I will take one.

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Nice work. I'll also take 2.

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket 1332,
I for one enjoy soaking up as much technical info as possible. So feel free to expound on vibration, harmonics, etc, anything engine related. You obviously have good training and a good background in this stuff. Keep it coming! For example, why are harmonic balancers not used on 4-cyl engines, even now, but always on 6-cyl and above. Seems the 4-bangers could benefit.... |
Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket I will try and explain the harmonic balancer issue in a pm to you later this evening tbird. They really are not what everyone thinks they are.
|
Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket I will purchase one

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Here are some pics of the 1st prototype socket from one of the car club members who critiqued it earlier this week. I believe he is planning to add his comments on it's performance at some point on here.

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Hi Gang, I took the photos above that Haag1332 has posted. The socket is well made, fits nice and tight to the brass nut of the GAV, and I've ordered one. I have 3 A's, owned one since 1978ish, was a MAFCA Board member, am President of my local A Club, and like a good beer and a laugh but not when I strip a nut or bolt. Get this item while it's hot as long as Bill has the time and interest. Jim Morris

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Put me down for one. Thanks much Tom
|
Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket I have had a couple of people now express interest and then contact me regarding the pricing. If you are interested, but haven't followed this enough to know the pricing, please read back to post #65 where I tried to explain everything, then let me know if you are still interested.
Thank you to all of you who knew the pricing and have reafirrmed your interest. I believe I have notified all of you who reafirrmed via pm or email. Bill |

Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket confirming that I am still in for one. no email or pm received yet.
|
Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Sorry mitch, just sent you the pm again, but had you toward the top of the list, actually 5th, lol.
|
Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Had u on the list as well Bud, just resent you a pm
|
Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Quote:
cant wait to buy 4 of them |
Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Got it! Thanks, Bill.
|
Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket No PM here either. I want 3 of them.
|
Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Just resent pm carl, and updated your quantity. Sorry for the confusion, but we had you as 3rd on the list for 2. Again, did update quantity.
Bill |
Re: carburetor 13/32 deep well socket Just noticed on here that you have to wait at least 30 seconds before sending another pm. Might explain a couple of mishaps (and probably me not paying attention). Pretty sure though we have everyone on the list. If you didn't receive confirmation from me, please do not hesitate to check in with me.
Bill |
