Louis Luu Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 I modeled this after an original. Have no clue what year it is for. I will post for sale shortly....coffee. Quote
Louis Luu Posted January 21, 2023 Author Posted January 21, 2023 All the dimples were hand drawn one at a time and placed in the exact area as the original. Quote
Louis Luu Posted January 21, 2023 Author Posted January 21, 2023 Badge can be soldered just like the original. Quote

Thanks You would be the second person to ask me....I'll give it a try. I believe I have a couple of original ones to copy off of. 1 Quote
Scott Braswell Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 That would be great, I know they are often sought after, including myself. Please if not too much trouble keep me posted if you do decide to reproduce them. I appreciate it Louis. Quote

Louis Luu Posted January 26, 2023 Author Posted January 26, 2023 There is also another technique I've been utilizing into tricking the server computer to think I'm making one single item to cut down on the cost. I scaffold it and this cuts down the cost tremendously...for example. When connected close enough, the price is dramatically reduce. After print, all I do is cut it off and file a bit. Quote

If you want the hub for the cage wire...I can make those as well. Please post a picture...I want to make sure we are referring to the same part. Quote
Scott Braswell Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Louis I see you made the rear bearing caps, they look good. How are they? Quote

No.....those are the original ones. I will model after them. It should not take me more than a week...two at most due to my work schedule. I'm still rendering the wall mount bracket. Should be ready top post some results before midnight. 1 Quote
Scott Braswell Posted February 12, 2023 Posted February 12, 2023 Louis Looking forward to the finished project. I appreciate your time. 1 Quote
