Got these today.

Sneak Peak one almost done

I have to admit Im gettin kinda xcited to get these things on.
Note cone spacers for bearing,I think i phucked the slots and will most likely
scrap this top plate and do another one.
I threaded the cone spacers so they act as a nut.
There is one on the bottom of course as well.

those slots look like the village bicycle.

still very slick!!!! im impressed with the work you've done so far... how much do you expect this to raise the ride height?

Im not really too worried about ride height because i can raise or lower the collar on the strut body to offset any change because of the new/different upper mounts.Overall drop will be as low as possible without tire scrub or scraping the front bumper .
At some time im going to do lower tie bars so i want a fair amount of clearance.

im seriously condisering gettin a small milling machine.

talk about a mini bridgeport it looks great

It was going to be either the taig or the sherline,taig is more sturdy and larger for sure but this was a decent deal.
I wanted this setup :

but he wouldnt ship to me.
This collection is very complete.

Only problem is now I have to wait for the mill now before i do the slots on the mount plates,good news is now doing caster slide plates will be a breeze.
I think i may have just wet my knickers.

lots of folks are skeptical about across the border shipping. sucks to hear, it looks like theres alot of good stuff there

That auction is an awesome deal (for now)
All borders for commerce are shrinking worldwide,I believe this to be true.

[goodorange]

that things bananas! I wouldn't know what to do with all that ****

[Beerizfood]

Update? NOT!

I havent been around in a while because i have been trying to buy a mill.
The one i got off ebay turned out to be no deal.I paid 30 seconds after the auction closed and waited 2 weeks for shipping info.The guy never shipped but finally refunded my money after filling a dispute.
Then i chased a few more but didnt win them.Was gonna buy locally but the sale price was over by the time i was ready.
Then i found a dealer here in Canada and was prepared to buy new but the guy who handles that aspect of their business was on vacation for 2 weeks.
Latest effort is another ebay purchase,this one looks good,got tracking and info this time.It took the guy a whole week to drag the stuff down to the UPS store but its finally on the way!FTW.
Now i just gotta figure out how to work all that jam.
At this rate ill have the suspension done in time to put it all up on blocks for the winter.
