I made this jig as parts of my Celette bench project, specifically with this yellow car in mind. Finally got to doing the work and this beauty worked perfectly. I'm also surprised by just how far off it would have been by just lining up the new metal with the old. This is inevitable with reproduction parts. But that's just part of the game. Now I know and now I've got the jig to make doing it right a lot easier.
Purchase and Rental: 1. Rental: These will be rentable for $100 for 2 weeks, $150 for a month. 2. Purchase: To own a set, it'll be $350 for the pair or $250 for just the right side. These will take me 2-3 weeks to assemble and ship. Attached thumbnail(s) |

QUOTE I would say No, it's won't work that way. The outer section is very accurate due to having three mounting holes. The jig is self aligning when mounted on the outer. To do the reverse, you would have to spend more time ensuring the accuracy, because the single mounting hole would allow for quite a bit of movement and essentially infinite rotation options. Also, the outer holes must be in the correct PLANE to be accurate. The inner hole simply has to be at the correct POINT in space. As long as the pivot shaft bolt goes through the hole, it's correct. But that being said, it wouldn't be too difficult to add a third branch to include the motor mount and then I'd have a jig that could be used for inner, outer, OR motor mount replacement with confidence. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) That's a great explanation of GD&T in a practical, real-world application there. |
