Rubber lip clamping plates

Postby nsr250 » Mon 26.04.2010, 12:11

I'm about to order a new rubber lip from Walker but need some clampling plates. I noticed that there was a group buy for these last year. Anyone have a spare set or the electronic file so I can get some made?

Thanks

Theres a set of used original plates in the box of stuff that got left with me at Malvern. I think they spent the w/e on the table there. Not sure whose they are or why they're there, but just thought I'd remind everyone in case they're up for grabs.

They're my hand-crafted, lightweight aluminium ones that I replaced with stainless. Free (plus small donation to the kitty) to anyone who can make use of them.

G,
I had to modify the drawing after I got the proto-type. It needed tweaking.

I cant remember where I've saved the file :oops:

I'll have a search when I get time

Is there a more common format (jpg etc) drawing of these, so that I can just print them and make a set by hand from ally?

I can take the CAD file. It'll work for me.

Were these drawing posted somewhere that I missed? I need to fab up a set and if the drawings are already out there somewhere then I'd rather not recreate them.
