Re: Homebuilt "C"notch kit.?.?.?.

Mr79C10,
You are absolutely right, but you gotta do what you gotta when money is tight and times are hard...
I just got a few new bits last night and I might be able to do some nice finishing on these pieces after all is said and done. Biggest thing holdin me back is time......

Thumbs up Re: Homebuilt "C"notch kit.?.?.?.

looks great ,but dude you are going to have to get someone to shear those or find someone with a plasma cutter. that had to take forever with a grinder not to mention the tingling in your joints after you were done.

Re: Homebuilt "C"notch kit.?.?.?.

Face,
you are right as you can be, it is loud, my hands ache, and my ears are still ringing from 2 nights ago.....BUTT......I just gotta do it myself. (call me a stubborn redneck) I put myself on an unreasonably low budget to see just how much I could get done with the money allowed. Beside that, I'm a cheap skate too.

OnetonK5,
If you have a plasma cutter that will cut that thick, I would love to cut it like hot butter. I have everything to "Finish it out with".

Yeah man, I know where Hunter loop Rd. is.

OnetonK5,
I tried to give you a call. Must have missed you. No big deal, the wether was getting ruff at home and had to get back. Give me a call when you get a chance and will see what we can get together on.
Thanks again for any help.
Really means a lot.

Re: Homebuilt "C"notch kit.?.?.?.

I'm going ahead with this project...

Got some clamps out today and started drilling holes for mounting. Anyone care to give advice on what size hardware I need to use?

All input is welcome.

Agree or disagree ! ! ! ! !

Both of the c-notches I have came with 1/2" & 9/16" grade 8 hardware.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I agree with Scotti ... 1/2" minimum size and grade 8.
