Title: Any machinists in the house??? Post by: Monstermash on December 14, 2009, 05:45:00 PM Hey guys,
I'm onto another project and I need a few simple spacers made. Basically what I need is the spacers that some of you used on your GSXR fork swap. They need to be 5mm thick and fit between the rotors and the wheel on my 996. The rotors are the same 6 bolt pattern as on the Monsters. Anyone here that can help out? Thanks, 'Mash Title: Re: Any machinists in the house??? Post by: NAKID on December 14, 2009, 05:49:40 PM I know Hooligan Machinist is, but he's lacking internet service right now...

I had them waterjet cut from 5mm plate, IIRC somewhere around 50-60 dollars including material. Title: Re: Any machinists in the house???

Yup! I get bored so I'll keep modding it until ti's sold. I'm not in a big rush to sell it anyway. If it sells, it sells. If not then I'll keep it. It kind of how I felt about the Monster.

You're looking for something in the area of 95mm X 5mm with the appropriate bolt pattern, right? Any particular material prefference? Don't say stainless. I don't have any on hand in that diameter.

Yes, that sounds correct. I wouldn't have asked for stainless but I was thinking 6061 billet aluminum. Title: Re: Any machinists in the house??? Post by: hooligan machinist on December 16, 2009, 07:12:43 AM I'll see what i can come up with by the end of the week.
Any idea about inside diameter or counterbores? Title: Re: Any machinists in the house??? Post by: hooligan machinist on December 16, 2009, 03:21:07 PM PM sent.
Title: Re: Any machinists in the house??? Post by: Dannog on December 17, 2009, 11:00:00 AM go to a bicycle shop. You'll be able to get aluminum spaces for front chain sprockets. take teh M6 bolt with you and to be sure on the size you need. I got 5 mm spaces from them. They didn't have enough so they ordered them in from their supplier. took just a few days and I had all 12. charged me 50 c each.
i got this idea from they guys at Motowheels when I was doing my SBK fork swap for my M900 Title: Re: Any machinists in the house???

So a huge THANK YOU goes out to Howard. I love it when this forum comes together to help each other out. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Any machinists in the house???

It's just like it's Christmas time..... Oh.....Wait...... IT IS!!!!! [thumbsup] I can't wait to get the new forks on the bike. I just sourced the final part(s). Now all I have to do is make one spacer and put it all together. Well, as soon as all the parts get here! ;D |
