Budget DIY CdG Modification for Rubens Barrichello AP Models

[iliketowatch]

I just had a productive communication with Mike on a V3 version of his RB plates. I do not want to make any promises, but it looks like we are pushing forward with a V3. The modifications will incorporate changes to make the CdG application more uniform and to reduce the assembly time, machining time, and cost. There are still a few open questions which we need to work out, but I think we are on the right track for the best possible solution. Updates here when I have them.

Very cool! Thanks to you and Mike for putting the time and effort into improved parts to feed our collective addiction...errrr, I mean, Hobby!

Thanks for the update. The V2 looks great and if Mike can make your life easier than we all will benefit. Keep up the great work.

wow,this getting better and better

 

[slaughterer62]

I knew you would like it, ap@12, knowing the 7750 parts you carried. Finally! a gen spec OEM-true RB plate! We got it nailed.

Hey http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/member.php?u=58374slaughterer the plate looks amazing, count me in for 1, any idea of date availability and cost?

 

[rnrprof]

what a great American solution to this problem - 2 people totally committed getting little sleep and then finally !!!!!! Once we have these, our RBIIs will never be the same and we'll still be able to afford the new onslaught of ROOs coming this way- Well maybe not all but at least one.

 

[slaughterer62]

I estimate I can finish 4 plates/day once i retool for the new OEM-spec CdG width. We are now also talking about a final rhodium plating process as well.

Massive step forward bud and rhodium plating would be the icing on the cake, I'm sure I don't need to remind you about taking orders ect via Pms !!

I am pursuing a cyclops project parallel to this plate mod, but please somebody else feel free to take on the DW project.... I would not be able to get to a DW design until Fall/Autumn.

 

[davidE550]

Any News?

 

[slaughterer62]

Not for another week or so. I had to move my equipment, and need to set up again.

I messaged Edge, hoping he can be persuaded to undertake a DW run for BB and RBII fingers crossed

 

[iliketowatch]

I missed the last few updates while on travel, these look great! I am definitely interested in picking one up when you have them complete. Great job!

Hi,

Amazing mod! Count me in for: plate and DW. Someone could tell me where can I buy the screws for the mod?

Regards

 

[slaughterer62]

Screws for the plate mod will be pre-attached. All sales will be over official platforms following the rules. Plates will be ready in a week or two.
