Title: Cranks plugs for early crank
Post by: 81cr450 on March 08, 2015, 07:13:20 AM

I was making these on a manual lathe & d**n time consuming is all I can say. Does anybody know who sells a reverse taper .990 - .995 aluminum plug. Dont want a solid slug I could do that quikerer & easier. Got a second crank to do & would rather just buy them if possible.

Yeah I walked right past the plastic scrap to dig in the aluminum scrap :? Thanks for the pointer. I'll see what weight they come in at, good idea  :-D
