Aad cut the midsection out of the gascap and reshaped the
points, much better now! |
Next project is the taillight, we will be using the lens
and internals of a Motone taillight and make a new stainless steel
housing styled to match the headlight. The rough shape was CNC
milled from a stainless bar, then it was welding and grinding as
usual. |
We left a round bit on the taillight so we would be able
to put it back in the lathe later, all the welding was done while
the part was still solid, then at the end it was hollowed out on
the lathe. The reason for this is that if we had welded on a
thinwalled part the taillight would deform from the welding heat. |
The shaping of the "ears" was all done freehand
starting with an angle grinder and ending with scotchbrite discs,
final polish will come later... |
