Help fabricating spacers

Postby Apu » Mon Aug 06, 2012 9:19 am

I need a bit of help fabricating a spacer for my race seat - I need a bit more clearance from the sliding rail and to pitch the seat forward a bit more as I don't have ape-like arms (like the previous owner :mrgreen: )

I need two strips of aluminum 320x40x5 mm - I can drill the holes myself.

In fact, I have a sheet of aluminum that would work, but it's marine aluminum...I just need someone who can cut it. I'm in the Epping/Carlingford area but happy to travel to the south if it can be done on a Saturday.

Anyone please? Happy to compensate in currency or beer.

Hey Brian,

PM me your address and I will put it in the post for you today.
If you send me a drawing of the hole positions I will drill them in as well.

Regie, I spent 3 hours putting together that model yesterday and then broke the front wheel off with my sausage fingers on final assembly. Then I sat on the glue and squirted it all across the carpet in the living room. Until that though I was having a lot of fun....

Richard.
