hodge Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 The bore should be drilled undersize and then mounted in an independent 4 jaw lathe chuck and finished with a boring bar to centre it perfectly. It should be no problem for a decent engineer to over-bore, sleeve and bore again properly, though how any modern company with CNC lathes manage to cock up a pulley bore is beyond me. I've never seen a 4 jaw machine chuck before only 3 jaw. Ever the 1.2 million pound lathe we've just bought only has 3 jaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Flat and polished the bonnet today, then gave it a nice machine glaze before wax. Came out really nice and really makes the front end look evil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Congratulations Rob, On replicating and improving a great looking bonnet. It looks fantastic. Thanks mate! its the only way i could get the bonnet i have always wanted. Nice trip to Lee's will test the bonnet against the heat but i very much doubt ill have problems as its only bonded on a stock bonnet, so would damage that before the hump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Only one way to find out and that's to use it, i want to do this before selling one. I honestly can't see any thing happening as its got not going to get hot, the stock underneath bonnet will take the heat.

Do you have aftermarket cams already and uprated springs and retainers? Would be good to whack the rev limit up and make full use of the twins and that built bottom end you have.
