What are we missing, what should I make on a VMC?

[Richard48Y]

I have not seen any for Webers on the Cross-Flow Renault.
In theory I can make almost anything the VMC would have done on my manual machine, just much more slowly.
The VMC is still a possibility if I can raise funds again.

[Richard48Y]

Hard to believe, but the VMC purchase may be ON again!
Sold a Triumph GT6 project, way too cheap but I promised myself I was cutting back.
That funds buying the VMC but I still need to scratch up more funds to get it shipped.
Seller finally relented and will allow me to send my own trucker, that will be much less expensive.
If he had done that a week ago I would already have bought the VMC instead of the Morris Minor.
If this goes sideways again, I will be buying Lotus and MM parts.

Good luck!

Good things to those who wait?
CNC's are definitely mine in about two weeks.
I spent the whole day making space for them, not waiting until the last minute.
I will still have to buy tooling for them, find a phase inverter, get my power upgraded, and relearn my CAD/CAM.
Hopefully all by next May?

So let me know what we seriously need that is NOT already available.

NEW TOYS!!! Happy days for you, Richard (though getting the rest of what you need will take some time)!

I'll be thinking about what you might be able to use that for.

I've collected all sort of welders, I would get prettier welds if I did it more often.
I have a nice tube bender and dies in several sizes.
I have access to sheet metal brakes but not a shear.
If the tired seats show up on Sunday my plan was to repair them, good practice parts.
This is all tooling I have now!
Do we have a drawing, pic, or sample to look at?

    I posted the dimensions of the S2 seats. Frames, Foam and Material. I'll try to find link later.

Update for those who may be wishing for cross-flow roller rockers.
A fellow in TX is ahead of me, he already has the CAD done.
Not sure if he intends to market them, or what his price would be.
If he is only doing them for his own use I will make a run at doing them too.
But don't hold your breath, I will have a fair amount of skills to regain first.

Now, how about wedge head versions?

Now, how about wedge head versions?

It wouldn't surprise me to see that's where the larger market is.
I imagine most of those would be in the US as well.

[Richard48Y]

I do not know of anyone else looking at doing wedge head rockers.
But I also have no samples of even a stock rocker to work from.
Surely there are some worn examples available?
