Machining some parts? Ideas?

Electrical box with seal tight connectors and O ring seal.

If not out of billet, you could make some simple molds to do it with a 2-part pourable urethane....they make some nice clears that would be awesome. Look up 2-part clear casting urethane resins. If you set up correctly and sucked the air out of your resin with a vacuum dome and then poured on a vibe table, then you'd have almost perfect parts. An o-ring sealed box that was clear to see what's going on inside would be great.
 
I would actually love to have a billet turn nozzle. And i think the bilge strainer idea is a good one too.

Would it be possible to make a billet bendix? those things suck.




he'll be selling them for approx $1.65 per coin. plus shipping of course. who wants the first batch? LOL

billet bills....hmm...


there are lots of those out there...they look nice, but think about your turn nozzle as a "crumple zone" on a vehicle....if the nozzle doesnt break, somethingn else will...

Keep in mind that E box must be GROUNDED...so all plastic wont work..

We machine a lot of Lexan parts for radio pharmaceutical production use and polish them clear after machine but I never got around to having the shop make me a clear electrical box, maybe one of these days.

I'd probably try it if I had access to a cnc and some of the other stuff. I'm just giving ideas......you could do the same thing for a clear start/stop switch cover too. If only I had a cnc to play with and time.....

What about a jig you could mount OEM flywheel covers in. Then you could cut an O-ring groove quick and easy. If you did this I could send my cover in w/$30.00 and I would no longer need a gasket when it arrived back. I dislike gaskets....

I like the bilge basket idea... is that better than the after market bilge brackets?

also the start/stop housing to be used with existing electrics, but you have to make it smaller with smooth radius and possibly move the stop button (or recess the button further.). I bump mine accidentally from time to time (killing the ski)
