Critical_Mass 10 Posted January 21, 2011 Cheers for that timbo! Have you got it in another format, my computer doesnt seem to like that file Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timbo 0 Posted January 22, 2011 The .txt file is just a .dxf file that you should be able to open in just about any cad software ever made. I use a thing called QCad. The only reason I included the dxf is in case whoever you get to do it wants to CNC them; it might save a bit of time. If it's going to be turned manually though the image with the dimensions should be enough to make one; just right click and save as on the image, give it to your uncle and see what he thinks :).

Let us know and its here ready to go mate. Cheers, Matt. AH thats fantastic mate, yeah send it over mate. I want to give my uncle both the dimensions and also a hard version of it. Thats cracking. I can get some copies made now... well soon anyway. Please note guys, my uncle is on holiday next week and possible the week after. If you can just hold on until he gets back i'll get him to make them up asap :D Im sure there's no immediate rush for these. Matt you have PM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted January 25, 2011 Colin - im assuming you mean phione number. To be honest it will be a favour for a family member. But i suppose i could ask in the future if need be. Just cant ask too often. :D Pete - I can add you to the list but am not promising anything. The list i have now isnt set in stone. Same applies to you Mr Dragon. Sorry guys i know this sounds harsh, but i will get as many made as i can :) By the way guys, im just waiting to receive said part from 8vmatt then i can pass it on to my uncle. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted February 3, 2011 Right guys, my uncle will be making some guide sleeves this week so i should get them over the weekend. He's making them out of copper. He didnt specify numbers but not 100% sure i'll be able to get one for everyone - he's doing it between jobs for me and will have a big contract to complete next week, so may not get chance to do more. I'll let you all know. Thanks Gaz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Timbo 0 Posted February 3, 2011 Yep, it'll be fine. Just copper is usually quite expensive and relatively soft. Not really a problem here though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
