Not that we want to lose you, but this forum would love to see the build as well

Re: New project... 86 GSXR 1100
I’ve been slacking with the build lately but finally got crackin with the mono tank/tail at the weekend.
Firstly, I dismantled and measured my cardboard mock-up to then recreate the parts in Solidworks. I then flattened and exported the parts into our (work) sheet metal software, where i then programmed the parts to be cut out of a sheet of 18 gauge stainless steel. I was originally going to use 2mm aluminium but the steel was half the price, our machinery at work is limited on the tooling i can use to punch 2mm ALI so I’d have had to cut all the parts manually! Plus I’m much better at welding steel :P The design below also shows the battery location based on a 12-cell anti gravity unit and a channel to hide the wiring. What it doesn’t show are the tank baffles, which will be added later. https://i.imgur.com/WNsQ1g6h.png Below shows the freshly punched sheet https://i.imgur.com/5szPci4h.jpg Next I went about bending the metal. The zero radius bends i put on using the bending machines at work, but unfortunately work didn’t have the tooling to bend the larger radius bends i needed so i had to improvise at home! Fortunately a had a couple of used disposable argon bottles that worked a treat :) https://i.imgur.com/BNwBBZxh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/e3DlT2oh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xe5sqToh.jpg Unfortunately I only got as far as tacking one side of the tank before i ran out of Argon but am pretty pleased with how it looks so far... https://i.imgur.com/RdbQXSbh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/4QBycsoh.jpg |

Looking good, nice skills innit.

Re: New project... 86 GSXR 1100
Mate I like your work
If you ever want any bits laser scanning and a model doing out of them then give me a shout, all the gear is in Bacup. We have a romer CMM arm and a perceptron scanner for doing reverse engineering work |
Re: New project... 86 GSXR 1100
p.s all that gear and skill and you're using disposable bottles! ffs!
