Hi people,

Basically, im looking for the tool that undoes the lock nut so you can remove the swingarm on an NC30/35. Im not really looking for the ebay job that is just a socket, im looking for the hollow socket with the handle so you can get to the center.

Can anyone help? perhaps on a loan basis?

Ive spoken to Mr Honda and he says £26, it might be a chance for somone who has used it once to sell it to somone in neeeeed :)

Cheers,
Matt

Ive been looking for an excuse to try out my new tungsten milling cutters in anger!! hows a tenner sound ?? ill make a few while i got the rotary table out . . . one for myself and anybody else whos interested ??

Would love to see some pics.
I was meant to get some materials to make one today but i had to go to work

PICS!

since ryanair conficsated my tool, i have been on the look out!!
lets see your handy work

here we go guys . . . The pics are from my phone so not greatest quality but they give you some idea


i tried it on my nc30 locknut . . . its a pretty snug fit !!


unfortunately i didn't have any stainless going begging. However, i did have a lump of 50mm plain carbon bar already bored to almost the right diameter. all was left to do was turn a few mm off the outside so it will fit below the surface of the frame.

loverly blue swarf . . .

part off then off to the mill




the rotary chuck is indexible in divitions 1/4's, 1/6's, 1/8's, 1/12's, 1/16's and 1/24's of a full 360 degrees


there are only four lugs on the locknut so obviously i used 1/4 devitions
now back to the lathe to clean up the burrs and machine a small taper around the lugs .
i set the compound slide to about 10 degrees for the taper


quick blast with the sand blaster and an oxide black oil finish . . .

what ya think ??

That's awwwwsome!

I'm on my phone ATm but i'm lookin forward to seeing these photos on a big screen :)

I'll set you a pm as soon as I get home

Cheers!
Matt

Awesome! I'm sure if theres no takers on here they'll sell on ebay or the likes.

My uncles the same with the using a lathe etc, he's restoring a Honda P50 at the moment, when I last saw him he'd turned a 2 piece mold to cast his own rubber bushing seals out of quick set modelers silicon :D
