Well that's a little beyond the ability of the shade tree mechanic. Those are outstanding. Clearly you have access to some metal fabrication facility, are you planning on making this a commercial venture?

Beautiful work. When you say forged do you really mean pressure die cast? Very interested to learn about the manufacturing process if you don't mind sharing that.

A long time ago I worked for GKN and one of their specialist factories hot forged alloy wheels for military vehicles. Definitely not something you can do in the backyard unless you have a very impressive shed! |
