Budget DIY CdG Modification for Rubens Barrichello AP Models

[DanielV3]

Slaughterer62,

After read my message again, I notice that I didnt ask right. The screws that Im questioning are the screws for the bezel, I saw a supermod in intime.co site that he change it for another.

Regards

Those Ti5 RB screws are unfortunately sold out. But if you ask Mikey2008 at RG very politely to make another run of them, maybe he can. Those screws are a major upgrade.

Another day, another CdG plate. New carborundum bit will be used. New plates fasten without modification to my table:

After a few passes under the press:

Tis but a flesh wound:

Applying the faux screws and gear. Cleaning, forming and aligning these was a little more tedious than I thought it would be.

Final shot with dial:

Total elapsed time: 107 minutes.
Number of wounds: 1, on thumb
Quality rating: 7, I do not like the carborundum bit for CdG. I am switching to another material.
My first batch of these plates goes to my partner.
After that these will be sold sporadically on the Parts sale page: ETA probably another 2 weeks.
I am still investigating Rhodium plating for these, but do not hold your breath. It will raise the cost significantly.

Just did a 9.0 and wrecked my bit. Got to go to the store to buy another few. 2 more cuts on fingers. Fun times.

Buy the latex glove wear one hand then still control no glove hand

The finishing touch is polishing the gear and two screws before assembling them to the plate. The shine contrasts with the patterns on the rest of the plate.
