My very first attempt at a tech thread. I needed firewall brackets for some radiator stays for my T modified. Couldn't find any locally (NZ) so decided to have a go at making some from an image I found on google. So to start i machined up a male and female die in the lathe I then found some panel steel pieces and placed them between the dies in my press. (first attempt went horribly wrong second was better So after pressing once I took it out and turned it over and pressed again just to straighten things out The next steps were just simple trimming, shaping, drilling and slotting The rest is just clean up, prep and paint before mounting on firewall. there endeth my tech thread.
Good on you, mate. Yes, a lot of work for a small part but no one else will have one like it. Great stuff
