The Ford Barn - View Single Post

In the next week I will be making the boring bar and attachments to get it in the right place,(this is for the model A blocks we are doing),
I have the bar (30mm dia HT chrome bar) and just need to make up the bits that hold it.
I have drawn it up so no worries.

My mill is a cheap bridgeport copy, and my drive clamps onto the 100mm dia spindle housing,same as a bought unit.
all the rest I made.
I will have an exploded view of the drive later next week as I want to take it apart and paint it.
I cant do it tomorrow as we are out for the day in our 34 3w,this needs some miles on it as its only done about 850 miles in the last year.
Mind you they are predicting a hot 39C day tomorrow.
