right the hunt for 10's in the VB has begun today started fitting the new 1.65:1 yellow terra shaft mounted adjustable roller rockers but to fit them we need to lift the rocker covers for clearance so begins the epic kiwi battle against alluminium in the trusty shed :biggrin:

take a peice of billit alloy 25mm thick LOL and draw a shape

prepare the precision milling machine seen here mid use

mid alloy battle fallen soldiers everywhere and i mean everywhere but we are winning LOL

finish drilling all 107 holes with said precision mill and attack with 1mm cutoff wheel

after a number of hours with the above tools and grinder and flapper disks you now have a spacer ready to polish but only after drilling yet another 6 holes LOL few only one more spacer to make :frown:

bit of a polish

not looking forward to the second one :tongue:
