Hi all. Since my aluminium pack is more or less finished apart from lighting, it's time for fresh challenge! Seems right to have a decent trap to go along with it so i have made a start this week, gathered a few measurements, and cut some material.
6mm plates, cut to size.
Main shell..
Welded up..
It was hard to keep everything square, but she came out of the welding bay looking good..
Ground the welds down on the bottom and back panel.
There are some slight low spots which i will fill in later with something, they wont really be seen anyway..
Got the bottom plates sorted, no milling machine as it was busy so had to do the wheel slots by hand. The ali plate slots took a decent bit of work to finish , so i went with 4mm plastic for the spacer to make life a little easier
How it all looks at the moment..
I have the trap pedal plate worked out too, but i only had 8mm plate to use, it might be ok, will see futher down the line.
I dont know if this is 100% the right dimensions, but as long as it looks right im happy enough.
Hopefully start work on the cartridge insert this week, more to come.
Comments welcome as always
