Cam locking kit.
« on: 01 November 2007, 20:25:39 »
Hi. I was wondering whether anyone has a cam locking kit for the 2.5 V6......My belt and roller change isn't due for a while but being as I'm a turner/miller I would like to have a good cogitate, and see if I could make one. We are a bit slack at work at the moment so what an opportunity.... :-X.....anyway, a loan of one or even a drawing would be cool.

If it works out ok then I could run off a few for the OOF members at a reasonable price..... :y

I can't afford to let mine out for any length of time, but this seems interesting. It may be we could do a 48 hr thing? If you could make one to the exact spec as the SP kit I would be very surprised (but very impressed!)

Great idea though, fair play for having a go  :y

This is something I've thought about too, i'm a CNC miller and without wanting to sound too big headed there isn't much that can't be made.

Does anyone have a picture of the locking kit as i've never actually seen one?

Got to be worth a go.

Sounds great! Just an idea though, why not buy one and them make your money back from the ones you sell?  :)

There is probably a patent or something on them however, this doesn't mean one couldn't be made (or something very similar).

If there is a problem lending one out, then all I would need is a half decent drawing with some accurate dimensions.  Basically, the items that make up the complete kit would have to be measured accurately and these dimensions shown on clear drawings......once I've got a good idea of what is required, I can crack on. And yes, OOF members would be given the chance to order a 'pattern' copy of the kit at a very very good price....that's assured.

10 minutes ago I couldn't spell engineer......now I are one...... ;D
