Precise1 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Well, a few months ago I moved into a place with a 2 car garage for the first time in years. Since I only have 3 or 4 major projects to work on, I decided to look for a small lathe so I could do more work... Well, I found a mill instead !! 2hp, with stand, coolant system, powerfeed in X, R8 collets and a few vices. All for less than a grand ! Here's the details for the gear heads... http://www.grizzly.com/products/G1007 I have some work to do, but it is basically little used and in sound shape. It was a bit of a handful to pick it up by myself, but I dealt with this kind of thing before. Soon I'll have my home shop together and start producing things Still looking for a small lathe...

No comments till I get there though... LOL Slick, yeah, skids could be made but it would take a while to bend them right. Better count on an overnighter...

Casey.T Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 B, Slick is going to send you the TM Front Axel drop bracket off her new 91. We need you to make several copies, to supply those of us not doing a SAS -bounce- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need you to make several copies, to supply those of us not doing a SAS LOL, that sounds pretty straightforward... Didn't know that Slick has 2 now ! :o Slick, the only lawn is front so I think you better use the spare bedroom... I was cleaning it up today (and yesterday, and tomorrow) and it's in as good shape as I thought it was. Still a bit to be done and getting that lathe I'm looking for (and set up) but I'll have shop set up well before winter. There are a few ideas, but it seems like a bolt up Quest alternator kit would be a good one to start with... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuismO Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 aye B, cool custom plate i must say =P any chances that you can make me one of those with your new toy? =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iLLlegal Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I would buy that quest bracket or even a bracket for a H/O alt. that would be sweeet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 even a bracket for a H/O alt. ??? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey.T Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 How about some MAF Adapter plates? Underdrive pullys? Supercharger Adaptor Plate sly with drive belt Pullys??? Long list sorry.... You could even bore out and make the Throtle bodies a little bigger, with a butterfly plate to match..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj big shoe Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 If you make one I will buy Count me in for one, too. My current bracket setup works, but I'd like to get something a little less Frankensteinish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 Ok, anyone have a useless stock pathfinder VG30E alternator ? Same with a Quest ? I need them to take measurements... Send a PM. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLLlegal Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 ??? B lol. or even a bracket for a HIGH output alternator. as in a quest most likely still wont handle what I'm going to be throwing at the electrical system. so I might need a bigger one. and now that I think about it you wouldnt know the measurments of the alt and thus cant help me so I retract this statement. :idea: sooo a quest alt bracket would still kick ass *sighs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
