I have run into a source for metals for free or at least for next to nothing (fgt).
It comes from a friend who owns a metals supply company.

There's lots of high quality billet aluminum stock mostly short ends of different widths and heights. There's also steel etc in just about any grade.

Anyone out there have any ideas on how to use it? I can get all I want but I don't know what I'd use it for.

If anyone has any application for a piece for an S project, let me know.

Battery tie downs,injector covers,v-tec selanoid cover etc....

 

Yea that's the kind of stuff I'm thinking of. I'd like to make a couple radiator brackets out of it.

I know I sure like the billet covers I got from RM on thier closeout sale.


But I know nothing about working billet and I don't have a machine shop, just a viscious dremel with an attitude.

Definitely some of the old RM stuff.

 

If you could duplicate the RM line -up,it would be super.
I'm still missing a few pieces.!!!

 

Radiator brackets from aluminum stock (also battery tie-down but you can't see it in this pic):

 

id make myself a shift knob.

none of the ones out there i like are countersunk

 

I'd be in for rad.stays.!!!

 

Suspension parts...

 

Brackets are pretty easy to make, but you'd better have a cnc machine or a mill/lathe if you want to get into suspension parts
