<div>FWIW, I spent some time talking to Steve Christensen a few months
back. He has these brackets all ready to roll, if we're interested.
He has the whole CNC set up, etc. and has done a lot of similar projects for

SteveK: I agree - what a terrific idea. And boy - what I'd give for a couple
old geezer's machining classes. Anybody know where I can take one or
two or whatever it takes?
<div><br></div>
<div>Steve T: I have another idea for a project - a serpentine crankshaft
pulley for a five-main MGB engine, along with a matching pulley for the
water pump, would be on the top of my wishlist. Preferably, make the
crankshaft pulley in the form of a harmonic balancer, but beggars cannot be
choosers...<br>

<div>Steve K, you will need that octagonal socket when you get to working on
your Magnette rear axle. Unlike you, I totally forgot I already had
one of these and was looking for a hex wrench to do the trick. ' Bet I spent
over a week looking for one before I realized even the right size wouldn't
fit, AND that I already HAD ONE!! </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If I get any more ideas, I'll share them!</div>

projects</div>
<div><br></div>My son is in college in a two year program to become a
machinist. It <br>seems that he needs some proposals for
projects he can do there. As <br>the one paying the tuition, I
get to suggest something that would be <br>of use to me and my
MGs. One thought I had was to make a nice socket <br>for the
octagon shaped rear axle nut. Does anyone else have
any <br>ideas for any cool stuff I could suggest? There's no
guarantee that <br>he will do it, as the project would have to fit in
with the goals of <br>the course work. So, what would you guys
do if you had a machinist <br>at your disposal? Note that this
is not an automotive machinist <br>program, so they are not set up
for operations on engine blocks, <br>crankshafts, etc.<br><br>-Steve
