Thanks Col. I'd never melt anything as precious as a Weber but even if I did the yield wouldn't even cover the cost of lighting the furnace.
Yes but was it diamond shaped with "Robri" etched into it?I challenge you Graham. Intake airbox for two DCOE's...
When Alfa Romeo have already done a very good job of them on virtually all 60s and 70s models why bother. I have seen one of the Alfa airboxes fitted to a DauphineG that had a 16TS engine with DCOEs and 16TX 5 speed gearbox fitted.
I like your arsenal. And yes, French content is indisputable!!Another day - another job done. I needed a clamping plate for a car rear window and to make it easy I decided to not make a closed sand mould but instead made an open air mould in greensand like this.

An impression was pushed into a level pad of green sand and the alloy was simply poured in. It's impossible to accurately gauge the depth and meniscus so I overpoured the alloy with the intention of trimming to final size.

Trimming to size isn't such a big deal when you have one of these bad boys in your arsenal.

Anyway "that's a rap" as they say in the movie business.
Where's the French content I hear you cry? Well I'm pretty sure there's a couple of old Renault intake manifolds in there somewhere.

My forelock is wearing out from tugging.Maybe a slight variation from the above design but the intent is still the same. The spindle screw on my home built milling table was previously cantilevering out 110mm and was unsupported until now. Ah it's good to have the capability to make your own parts. French content? I melted down a Fregate bell housing for this part. The spindle dial was not cast but machined out of aluminium stock bar.

Well you better stop doing it.My forelock is wearing out from tugging.
Both have elements of Citroen about them to my eyes.There's been some strange goings on at the facility this week. Boobies and a new mascot for shed 4 that emerged from the scrap pile.

Very good movie. You can get sucked into anything with the right bait .If you enjoyed that type of theme I'd suggest you watch this one.
Aagh, seven wheeler for the straight eight?
