Stots Build Thread

Cheers TT. Got to try and do 'something' every day.

I made up some brackets to hold my handbrake cables in place. I wanted to bolt them directly to the diff bolt which is 12mm and although the original MX5 brackets could just handle a 12mm hole, they twisted to buggery when I tried to drill them.

Cut these out on the CNC Mill.



I annealed the center section using sharpie marks as indicators. The threaded rod and vice are acting as a heat sinks so the ring parts don't anneal.



The tab at the end will bend round and conform to the nut/bolt head when fitted so that needs annealing too.



Then I bent it in half round a form then put the threaded rod thorough it and tightened 2 sockets on it to pinch it into shape.
