Stormin 4,458 #576 Posted September 18, 2015 Did I see a milling machine in Nigels workshop? You could cut it in half on that, using a slitting saw. 1 Ian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 2,417 #577 Posted September 18, 2015 Your eye's were working Norm, you did see a milling machine in Nigels workshop... We did think of a slitting saw on the mill, but Nigel does not have one, so I opted for the "cheaper than buying a slitting saw" way and started turning the width off.. It's taking a while as I don't have coolent rigged up on the Mono turn lathe so I have to wait for things to cool back down every once in a while.. 2 diggerjames and nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 2,417 #580 Posted September 23, 2015 You really shouldn't let that kitten get so close. It's my guard kitten Norm, Tiddles stops the pixies from pinch my swarf The problem was that Ian put the cat in my workshop norm , like in my bandsaw Well I had to cut him in half so I had a flat surface for gluing him to the ad board (No Kittens, ad boards, bandsaws or tubes of glue were harmed during the typing of the above) 2 Stormin and nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 2,417 #584 Posted October 8, 2015 I had my first visit to the workshop yesterday.. I didn't get anything much done but a few parcels had turned up.. New Landrover coils.. Not bad at just over £7 a pop. And this bag of electrical bits... More about the bits when I start installing them 1 Vinnetrow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 2,417 #587 Posted November 2, 2015 Well... It's been a while since I've done a Why Not update and not much has been happening really.. Part of the kit I bought fried its self, so I made my own.. Ready to be bolted on.. Bolted in place under the fender pan.. There is plenty of space around the coils, it's just a badly taken photo that makes it look otherwise! And a bit of spark testing... I am getting a spark, just enough of a spark! Any ideas? 2 Vinnetrow and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anglo Traction 1,016 #590 Posted November 3, 2015 Would that be an Exhaust Pulsing Flame set up Ian?.............. Will be good for killing tall weeds ................... Bit of Overkill just to light up a 'Rolly' Short of iffy circuit or earth/ground connections, the Coils aren't chucking out enough juice?. 1 nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the showman 4,074 #593 Posted November 5, 2015 That's a neat idea Ian ðŸ‘ðŸ‘👠Now you can do flame burnouts, we need action shots in the dark. What plugs are you using btw 💥💥💥 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 2,417 #596 Posted November 5, 2015 It's been an interesting sort of day you might say A write up will have to wait until the final specs are decided on, but you might say its evolving a bit Here's a short vid of todays fun, only one exhaust is plumbed in for flames at the mo. Once it is right the other side will be sorted.. 2 nigel and Vinnetrow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nigel 1,876 #597 Posted November 5, 2015 What he hasn't said is he had beans for dinner, inserting the pipe was interesting when he does the second exhaust tomorrow I am not going to assist him 3 Vinnetrow, Stormin and Ian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 2,417 #598 Posted November 21, 2015 Although I'm busy with Project Horse Gut at the mo, I'm still thinking about the flame throwers and how to make them... During the week a small fuel tank turned up (thanks Dave ), I think it's from an Atco? It is a nice fit under the bonnet By the time it's painted red you won't even notice it with the bonnet closed..

Ian 2,417 #599 Posted January 26, 2016 Well..... I woke Project up from her 2 odd month slumber yesterday and thought I'd take her for a little drive before I start on the flaming exhausts again... I may of got carried away a bit 8 the showman, Alan, meadowfield and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
