Title: Machinst help: pins for spanner
Post by: DucHead on June 04, 2010, 03:28:38 AM
Could someone with machining skills make two of these from steel:

I need them for a pin spanner to hold the starter clutch on my Bandit.

Obviously, I'd pay for your time, materials and postage.

PM me if you're interested.

I'd do it, but I dont think you'd want to pay freight from Australia...

Can I make a sugestion?  ..  I will anyhow...   :)

machine from a 10mm capscrew, but leave the head on the scew so that its easy to fit and remove. It'll also gove a bit of support for the pin..

How accurate do they need to be?

Do you have a bench grinder?

Reasonably accurate -- I don't wanna f-up my starter clutch.

It's be worth $40 or so to have nice looking ones, but I might give the bench grinder idea a shot.

There's a fair spread between lathe accurate...

and make the beast with two backsing up your starter clutch.

Just sayin' ;D

Obtain a 2" long bolt - chuck up the threaded end in a hand drill - or better yet a drill press if available - apply a file to the section you want to cut down - use a hack saw to cut off what you don't want - not precision work but closer than a bench grinder though not as fast.
