You're right, but it wouldn't be hard these days would it?

Clive, how do you deal with the MDF dust in the metal working machine. does it cause any issues?

Don't think I answered the question sorry. I mount a vacuum hose where the coolant nozzles are normally, just sucks majority of the dust away.

Thanks Clive.

looking good as always. reason for asking re the CNC, is i have a mate who is looking at building a flat 12, and the cost of the billet for the block was going to be ~$10k Australian. So the idea of running a practice pass on the mill in MDF was appealing.

you have to love crazy projects.

bolt 2 flat 6's or 3 flat 4's together? flat 12 from scratch seems like a monumental task...
if he does it try and convince him to post it here!!

[GTRCLIVE]

Or just buy a Old Ferrari Flat 12....

[GTRCLIVE]

All four corners nearing completion...

[Storer]

All very impressive stuff Clive.

Am I right that you are building this for someone else and they are footing the bills for stuff.
Are you also billing for all this cad/cnc work too as well as building it or are you doing it for free "because you always wanted to".
I can understand both approaches but wondering which route you are taking.

Shiny is always better yes ?



Gearbox Extension housing Top plate..... sides and bottom plate in the mill now.

[ceebmoj]

shiny!

CNC porn. Having machined from billet do you do any heat treatments?

[GTRCLIVE]

No real need to as already in the T6 condition. If I was to really make them race car light weight then maybe, but there so over spec'd for the road, that you just doesn't need it TBH

Next 3 sides of the gearbox extension made from one piece of plate..

Interesting thanks. How do you know structural components are over spec? Did you do the maths/CAD/FEA or you just know from experience and it's obvious from looking at them they are 10 times stronger than needed?

Looks awesome Clive

Looking forward to seeing it go together!
