The so called " qualified engineer" hasn't even countersunk the holes for the 1st maincap.

Qualified Shmallified!

I'm not sure if the standard backplate is countersunk? Let me check on my backplate....




(off to garage)





Ok - Just checked. Can't see a countersink on mine Vegard. WTF are you on about?
Sounds a little like jealousy to me - because someone else wishes they'd done it / could do it? Huh? hmmm? huh? hmmm?

ahhhh - bless.

i'll be having one of them when i get home from work!

having had lots of plates waterjet cut for my engine, I still don't see how these can be made so cheap!

I might buy one of these if they were countersunk...

Dave, postage to Norway?

Norway - European rates apply as per the auction :)

Seems strange that it costs the same to send to Oz as it does England (and everywhere in between) but it's still pretty cheap for a 4/5 day service...

Hi,
Dave, Countersunk on the two holes into the main cap on the duplex set up
Cheers,
Gavin :)

My Mini build diary

its not going to take much to counter sink it yourself though is it??

(can i have one cheap now??)(please)

looks nicley made, and I recon I can wield a countersink well enough to mod it, LOL

but shouldn't there really be 6 studs?? ( the 2 on the right hand side of the pic should they be studded too??)

Is it any cheaper to buy directly via pay pal so you dont have any auction fees (well you have to ask)

The two holes that aren't studded are instead clearance holes. This is because you have full access to the rear of the plate to use a nut.

I will (again) repeat...
This is a representation of the A+ timing setup, which was never fitted with countersunk screws.

I realise now that omitting to include the countersink this was a frightful and sinfull error, and hopefully the good lord will see it in his heart that I be spared for my sinful act.

But - If you want a countersink - you take metal out.
If i countersunk and you didn't want it countersunk - It's a pain in the ass for me to correct this.

Nic - you can have it at a special price. How does $40 sound?

Constructive Criticism is (of course) always welcome. It'd be more welcome and valid if you had said component in your hand having paid money in order to level your comments however.

ohh fuck me the penny just dropped!!

this is the "other product to appear on ebay shortly"

After I posted about the extra 2 studs i realised it made much more sense to leave them out wherever possible.

LOL no worries! I've spent a long time weighing up the options - and although studs were considered - it's still something I'm supplying that the end user can screw up by overtorquing. A nut and bolt that I don't supply is his/her problem - and easilly sortable if they do use a 1/2" breaker bar to tighten them... :)

Anyone else want one so we can get a batch shipped over and save a few £ on postage?

yep! dave, is it gonna be better to take one from the auction, or do you rather the money was sent to you direct to save on your ebay fees??

And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers!

So... I've bought four, even if they're not countersunk

Edit: If you'd countersunk them Dave, there would be an even bigger weigh saving... three grammes, alt least two :)

Edited by Vegard on 1st Oct, 2006.

Next batch will ALL be countersunk; with Non-countersunk to special order LOL!!


Thanks







EDIT - First batch now sold out....

If you are intersted in one in the future, then add your interest here in order to be first in line.

Edited by turbodave16v on 1st Oct, 2006.

T2clubby, Anton and me all wanted one, was going to buy em from one ebay account and get em delivered in one to save hassle.

Put us down for the first 3 of the next batch please.

You can put my name down for one too dave

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

I will be able to cut stuff like that very soon, just in the process of making a CNC plasma cutter should be able to do most matterials up to 1/2" or 13mm. Stuff like turbo flanges, exhaust flanges, back plates. Should be able to do flat material 1m x 1m

Need to get make some of my money backonce its up and running. Thought it might be of interest to some of you on here.


Mike

I'll have one too please Dave

Looking forward to get my hands on one :)
Vegard: I pay you today, been in Denmark the last week :)

www.shag.no

Too bad about my Ebay feedback:

http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...ame=STRK:ME:UFS

You cheeky sod!

Oh. How many girls work in the packaging department at your house Dave? Damn, that was pedantic! :)

lol!!!
I know what you mean about opening daves packages.

Dave you should charge £40 p&p or you will be out of pocket!

Still better be safe than sorry
