Had a message to say plates are cut already!   I'll go pickup @ lunchtime. 

if anyone in waikato needs anything done, give JP Marshalls a go.

Next day service?

[440bbm]

drawing/ details didnt get approved till about 1.30pm and message came in at 7.30am 

more like a half day service LOL.    He did say 2 to 3 days, maybe ready wed/thurs which I was more than happy with.

I've just brought a CNC plasma, just working through first cuts now and learning how to drive it, but open to doing small jobs once I've got it dialled in. Some 0.9mm ss304 cutting I've done today..

Bought some tyres for Mildred, and came on rims. 
Bonus being the centres were bolt in, and the stock rims aren't. So instead of paying for a tyre guy to swap them over which gets spendy for small tractor tyres, and high chance of them muppets damaging them as not brand new/soft..  Decided to get new centres made with the correct c/bore and bolt pattern.

 

JP Marshall in the tron, drew and cut them for cheap and super fast time.

@Spencer Can you remember how you got those MX5 bellhousing measurements? I'm drawing up a Triumph I6 to MX5 gearbox plate and I've got another set of measurements from that bellhousing gasket thing they have, and was wondering which was more likely to be accurate.

No worries if it's too long ago to remember.

Hey dude, I bulk uploaded them from people on here or stolen from the internet. Basically need to double check everything against real stuff you have, buyer beware etc.

Ah gotcha. I was wondering because I found an old thread from back in the glory days/wild west internet of a chap who had stuck his MX5 gearbox on a faro arm, but the link to the file is dead. Was wondering if someone had squirreled that file away somewhere and it had resurfaced here.

I'll check the measurements though. Better safe than sorry!

Errrm….. drawing….. yeah….. I’m from the “hack-at-it-until-fits (or bust beyond redemption) as school. 
 

TBH, the approach here so far has been to hack off the MX5 bell and attach something else so the flange dimensions haven’t be relevant. I do have an uncut box here though if you need particular dimensions.

[BiTurbo228]

Thanks for the offer, but I've got one sitting in my garage myself I can check the measurements against. Just trying to be lazy and see if anyone else has done it already!

yo..... anyone got a DXF etc for a 3SGE intake manifold flange (the bit that surfaces to the heat reduction manifold on the head) ive got a 3sge 'spaced' itb plate cut and want to make a manifold adapter....

ive got a factory length runner manifold welded up but we'r abit to tight on space so i want to make a stubby manifold aswell....
