Down my dads all day today, he's built a cnc router, works like a dream

Made a flange for my zx10 fuel pump today, this will be welded to a tube then to the bottom of the tank to make a swirl/ sump

Made a ply one first to check holes and oring grove







10mm Ali plate

[Rosco]

Took 25mins to cut this out



Then made a wheel with the correct offset so I can check clearance when we make the exhaust manifold

One side is a 205 tyre the other is a 185 tyre

12mins for this I think, it flys through timber!

Then a mk1 gear lever, just as a starting point

Right no updates for a few weeks, still waiting on laser cutting and to get my exhaust back so I've got a little side project to keep me busy

Ive been after this for about a year as it's been sitting in a blokes yard, he finally sold it me last Saturday afternoon



I borrowed a trailer to get it home on, but it weighs about a ton so we had to strip it to get it up the garden!

The bed took 4 of us to lift and so did the stand



Gearbox was mint



Loads of bits to clean up
