Quoted from Beans
... At the moment looking into 3D printing them ...

Quoted from Beans
... Not any more, this technique is still way to expensive compared to traditional machining ...

More than a year on and still no wheel centres for the Wolfies, but that might be about to change.
Got the details of a Belgian company that are specialised in 3D printing.
Got a quotation from them which was good enough to give it a try.
See next year how this file translates into a 3D printed object ...

that's very good. If you designed it would you be willing to share the design? Then anyone anywhere could get it printed, 3D printing is a bit like sharing a PDF file....
Maybe CT need a new group on the forum for 3D print designs, we are "the club that does things"....

or some thing like that..

No problem sharing the design with CT members.
But bear in mind these centre caps are for these wheels with a rather distinctive centre bore ...

How time flies. Todat the car was in for her fourth (biennial) MOT since I finished the restoration in 2010.
Nothing really wrong, only CO and head lights slightly high. Both easily adjusted.

Hi Beans

when these carburettors were refurbished, were throttle spindle bushes fitted? If yes, did you do it yourself?

Regards
Thomas

Yes, new bushes were fitted.

The machining was done locally through a friend.
