Re: 21st Century Outlaw 997 Project
Thanks again fellas
While all the exhaust stuff has been going on, I've also continued making the mirrors.
I think my last post on them was the finished cones & pedestals
Well......they are now one

As before they have been micro tig stainless welded & dressed out with a Dremel before polishing.

Re: 21st Century Outlaw 997 Project
Been a bit busy of late with another BIG project that a few select DDKr's know about (to be revealed at NEC this weekend) but thought I should update progress on the 997.
So back to business making upsized stainless fixings to hold the mirror bowl to the cone.
Roughing down some 25mm stainless bar
Drilling out & tapping M8
Then parting off after cutting a taper on the reverse

Next the face was machined into a replica dome profile matching the original 70's mirror end fixing
Next the screw slot was cut by hand using two blades in my hacksaw clamped together
Then finished with swiss files

During the process I regularly checked it against one of the prototyping aluminium spun cones
And also checking the underside taper fit
Before embarking on ever increasing fineness Wet & dry polishing

The process was then repeated for the other mirror to make a matching pair once I'd sussed the first one out
And then check fitted in my actual Stainless Mirrors
