Beans Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Removed the fronts brake pads for a closer look why they didn't behave as they should.As you can see they look rather glazed, cracked and pitted ...This is how decent pads (Mintex M1144) looked after a real trashing, and they still worked as they should ....Needles to say I went for decent pads again, this time Mintex M171, yes very old school 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Started the preparations for the 2015 10CR today ... well sort offWith both my TR7's officially of the road for three months from tomorrow, it is time to start on some typical winter jobs.This weekend I started with dusting of an AutoCad file I created almost three years ago.This was converted into the design software as provided by Schaeffer AG.But before hitting the 'order" button I first have to find some countersunk M8 x 40 mm Allen head bolts with the correct (DIN) head dimensions.Something to sort the coming week.

Andy Flexney Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Theo,just been reading your blog and wondered if you could not use the TR3 insulating blocks? You would have to use longer screws and have about 10mm space between carbs and wing but they might just work.Take a look at number 158 on http://www.moss-europe.co.uk/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=2107CheersAndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Thx for that, but i will first put everything together with some good old fashioned gaskets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Quoted from Beans ... At the moment looking into 3D printing them ... Quoted from Beans ... Not any more, this technique is still way to expensive compared to traditional machining ... More than a year on and still no wheel centres for the Wolfies, but that might be about to change.Got the details of a Belgian company that are specialised in 3D printing.Got a quotation from them which was good enough to give it a try.See next year how this file translates into a 3D printed object ...

Beans Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Took some time but the 3D printed wheel centres have arrived.Needed two takes to get the proper quality and finish ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpbarrett Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 that's very good. If you designed it would you be willing to share the design? Then anyone anywhere could get it printed, 3D printing is a bit like sharing a PDF file....Maybe CT need a new group on the forum for 3D print designs, we are "the club that does things"....or some thing like that.. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 No problem sharing the design with CT members.But bear in mind these centre caps are for these wheels with a rather distinctive centre bore ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
