Soooo Lets just say that this thing is tough... It does not want to be sanded, grinded, or anything...
Sandpaper and a whatchamacall it just takes off the aluminum in like dust particles. Grinding wheels are chunking up like no tomorrow... doesnt grind it off.. it eats it up.. like a tinsy bit at a time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Anyone have any suggestions? I'll take a pic of all the pieces i've tried... |

Andyrew,
Check the dimensions before you commission someone to do the work. Going stricktly on my (poor) memory, you may end up with an extremely thin wall section after machining the ID. Remember to consider the root diameter of the thread; that will be the OD. I went through a similar excercise with a friend's 914 and convinced him to not machine the ID, as in his case the resultant wall was way thin. Just check things out before you start. Andy |
