Brace yourselves







Making a big baller brace for the snail



1/2" hiems





Turbo ring with the hiem eyelet tacked on









There is more to this but the other 2 braces I made are rigid and no more than a flat 1" by 1/8" stainless plate so I figured I would post the interesting one of the three

[philohlean]

As someone who is not particularly gifted with fabrication, I am awestruck by your work every time. Keep up the stellar work!

Pure Awesomeness dude

With great heat comes great heat responsibilities, so I am making a heat shield

Starting with the mounting points on the crossover tube





This is kind of a specific problem solver but if you don't have a 4 jaw chuck and find yourself needing to chuck a piece of 3/8" stainless square stock then a cheap deep socket will be all you need



Obviously it has many limits and is nothing more than a quick fix but dammit it worked flawlessly



I simply needed a hole



Threaded the squares



Clamped these little guys to the crossover tube and weld



Stop reading this and buy these Kant Twist clamps right now, by far the most used tool next to my own hands, yes they are expensive and no do not buy cheap ones, you can thank me later when you are surrounded by ladies that heard you bought them



Sheet of .065 aluminum I will be using to cut the necessary pieces



Holding in this old school vise to square up sides and deburr



Also buy one of these if you can, they are cheap and built to last forever apparently since mine is at the very least a 100 years old



One of many peices



Round stock of delrin to create the bend





Now repeat a bunch of times and you get this weird looking creature







If your phobic of centipedes then you will **** this



A little bit of elbow grease and scuff pad





Rivets!!





Reminds me of a suit of armor and thats kind of where I got the idea









That is how you make a centipede/armor/heat shield, it will known as the Heat Armorpede

Everytime I see an update our your thread I must admit I get a little excited
"What awesome idea has hes constructed this time!"

[EasySpeed*Inc]

I absolutely love your fabrication work every time I see this=) Nutserts/rivnuts are incredible. I used them on parts of my compact.

I think I like tools just as much if not more than cars.
