Funnily enough Ralph!
I have drawn a template for a gearbox adaptor plate on some MDF. Is it possible to copy that somehow to make an outline with some holes cut through it. I need it in 12mm steel really.

how accurate is the template and is it fairly stiff? in a word tho yes its possible, biggest trouble with tepmlates is sometimes they deform then the new one doesnt work. will PM you.

Copper head gaskets? Would be willing to buy quite a few pairs if the price is right. Presently 3.5" Bore but going to 94mm next year.

Great stuff, could supply a hand made copper gasket as a template or a stock steel one. Don't need the water passage ourselves but others might. Racing this weekend and then need to decide if we stay 3.5 or got to 3.9/4.2 next year. Once we know then can order gaskets for the correct bore size. Cheers mate got me feeling happy again.

Will be in touch again myself

Switching to a new pulley system soon, and want some new tensioner brackets cut from stainless.

Can fully reccomend Ralph to anyone. The waterjet machine does a truly amazing cut and finish, and Ralph is a gentleman to deal with.

Stupidly I never took any pics, but he cut me some 25mm Aluminium for a brace for my supercharger along with some maching work. It just sliced through it like butter !!

Also did me a few wheel spacers, as anything commercially available are just junk universal stuff. These ones now fit perfectly.

I still find it amazing that high pressure water can do so much work.
Its quite scary really. Imagine accidentally getting in front of a jet like that???

Hi Ralph, did you get a drawing for the head gasket. If not I can ask my son to draw one form my old copper gasket and send you the DXF file

regards

i dont have a gasket drawing yet no, so if you could get one "DXFed" up that would be ideal.
