Thank you.

But my time is limited. My idea of tool would press the shape of hole and cut it. -Olli _________________ www.ollierkkila.com Back to top JoZeF Grave Digger Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 1734 Posted: Tue Dec 25, 2007 8:34 pm    Post subject: Cool idea, but that tool would require a lot of pressure to cut out the rim wouldn't it ? _________________ "That bumper fits there like sunglasses on pig" O.E.

That part of the rim is slightly curved and quite thick (1,5/2mm?) The easiest solution would be to have the holes cut by laser and afterwords hammer the metal border to the inside to obtain the round shape.

I think 20 - 30t kg would be enough. We have one in school whit 60t kg forse. -Olli _________________ www.ollierkkila.com Back to top Jasu Dropped Joined: 30 Sep 2007 Posts: 211 Location: Finland Posted: Wed Dec 26, 2007 1:57 pm    Post subject: Olli wrote: I think 20 - 30t kg would be enough.

Just make tools what cut hole and bend borders at same time with this machine from hell... _________________ Make it today, tomorrow it's probably illegal...

I think those holes are made like this in back on 50's. -Olli _________________ www.ollierkkila.com Back to top SamClukkers Lowered Joined: 23 Jun 2007 Posts: 774 Location: Belgium Posted: Wed Dec 26, 2007 4:38 pm    Post subject: Yep, probably with the same machinery, looks heavy. But still no good pictures. Nobody who has UMAP driving friends or Clôd who was doing all the research on the Dagonet?

I tried to make a rim 400. Here photographs. Is necessary to drill them, balance them.( faudra les forer et les faire équilibrer) Back to top Kustombart Tiki burner Joined: 25 Jun 2007 Posts: 901 Location: Arnhem, Netherlands Posted: Fri Dec 28, 2007 1:24 am    Post subject: The press would do the job. You need a die (negative shape) and a positive shape out of hard metal. Then press and repeat, press and repeat... _________________ Don't ask me what I think of you 'cause I might not give the answer that you want me to. www.kustombart.com Back to top TONY ENGLAND Lowered Joined: 09 Aug 2007 Posts: 742 Location: MALDON, ENGLAND, UK Posted: Sat Dec 29, 2007 4:15 pm    Post subject: Hey Bart, i'm sure you could airbrush that pattern on for a small fee .It would save a lot of work, be more original idea and probably look just as good, if not better . _________________ If it works ok, "LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE".
