CNC Lightened 998 Rods
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi,

Im thinking of having a run a 998 rods CNC lightened and shot peened ... Just wondering if there is any interested if I have a load of sets done?

Welcome to comments or questions

Cheers Chris

why 998 ones?

Im having them done for a couple of Brisca ministox hence why they are 998 rods.

Im sure I could do 1275 rods aswell if there is enough interest?

Chris

Press fit or fully floating ?

Metric is for people who can't do fractions.

Either.

But more can be taken from the little end on press fit.

Ive got a set coming back today so will post up some pics later

Chris

What sort of price would it be for these? Also will they be balanced after machining / before shot peening?
Cheers

Weight comparison?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

They are 550grams.

So about 150grams saving per rod

price?

Surely you should be a Trader and this should be in the traders section as you are offering commercial services???

Correct Andy.

Chris, if you want to carry on advertising trade items then can you please click the link at the bottom of the screen so that you can become an official TM Trader.

Thanks.

fo the sake of £20 you get a good audience.

Ok not a problem.

I was looking more for comments and suggestions about the rods than advertising them for sale to be honest. Thats why its not in the For Sale section.

However I suppose if people would like to buy some I need to have trader status, so will look at that now.

Im thinking of pricing them at £250 outright or £220 exchange.

How does that sound to people?

Edit* - Im a paid up trader now :)

That's expensive compared to force racing.

Is that with new bolts?

These cost me £180 plus VAT in 2008.





I donated the blanks and it include balancing. Also around 550g each.

How much are Force ones out of interest?

Are they shot peened Paul? And did the price include the ARP's?

Chris

They are peened, bolts were extra.

Just had a look.

£110 for 75grams ... so £220 for 150g is about right lol

Being serious I cant get them made much cheaper, so cant really come down on the price. Maybe if we can get a larger order they would come down but im only having 3 sets at the moment so paying full price.
