New cast parts, round 2

Ben · #1 01-10-11, 20:21

Hello all

Following the success of the cast Bren pintles I have decided to try again with some other parts.
This time I have made patterns for the square plate that rivets to the floor that the fuel tank straps fix to. They are from a new pattern that allows for the shrinkage factor so the part you will receive will be the same size as the original period part. They will be £7 each, cast in steel.
The second part is the cast pick axe head mount from the rear tool plate and the oval washer that holds the pick head on. Again these are from a new pattern that allows for shrinkage. These are £45 for the mount and washer, cast in steel.

These prices may drop a bit depending on interest. I have had to base them on the very limited quantities that I'm aware of. If you are interested please let me know and we can see if there is enough interest to make the price drop.

I'm using the same foundry as before and the quality of their previous work was great. I'm sure some of the folks who bought pintles will agree. If you have any questions please ask and i'll try to help. Quantity made the pintle job a success, with any luck we can all help each other again.

Thanks

Ben

Hi Richard

There are four square brackets, one per strap that are riveted to the floor the bottom of the straps attach to them. I'll take a picture of the patterns and add them ASAP.

Ah... mine did not have them for some reason it just had the straps bolted to the floor of the carrier they are made from 1/16th (ish) sheet, then a cork bit goes in, and the tank sits on top of that bit. i have a repro one laser cut if you want to borrow it ?

For clarity. large folded bkt , 2 per carrier, behind fuel tanks, mounted to rear plate.
Small folded bkt. 8 per carrier 4 under each fuel tank. They are designed to hold a piece of felt, which is designed to hold water, and rot out your fuel tank.
2nd picture has a cast plate on the end of the strap. This is what you might need from Ben.
