Mine needs some work, but I could never get rid of it. Solely because my wife would never let me; she trusts her life with it in the snow/rain. I was more comfortable as well driving it this last snow storm we had.
Absolutely! My Commander won best in show at a Mopar show years ago. I hope to take another win with this one!
Absolutely, well worth the price! Thank you for the recommendation :fist bump:
First cap is made. I'm not going to get one installed today, since I don't want to mess with the epoxy more than once, but this is the general idea. I'll center the cap and tape it in place for the epoxy.
I'm pleased with it so far. The video of the JL member shows him using gloss caps, but...
Well, I got the bit Saturday and decided to get started on reaming the center caps. And I luckily did find my chuck key!
I put it on my lowest belt drive (240 rpms) and slowly made progress. My clamp for the press is currently holding another project together, so I couldn't use it. I just put...
That's a great idea. Almost makes me feel like an idiot for not thinking about that. Well, the conical bit is bought, so that'll be my next option. Thanks!
Took some measurements when I got home. Center cap hole is just over 3/4".
I will need to bore out to 2 1/4", so I think I'm going to try the conical step bit and if I screw up the first one, I got another 4 to work with. Ordering the bit @WILDHOBO referred me to. More to come once that...
Couldn't tell you. Me and the wife cleaned out a 4500 sq ft house of a family friend a couple years ago when she was widowed after her husband ate the back of a semi-trailer on his brand new motorcycle. Moved out the same week and couldn't bare to look at any of the memories anymore. Really sad...
Thanks, I'll have to look into that also. I didn't do any measurements just yet, but I think the center hole is around 3/4" dia. I haven't used anything that big in the drill press yet, so I'm not sure if it will fit unless the shank is reduced.
Well, the member kis_face on JL Forum is the originator, so I will give him credit where it's due, as I intend to do it the same way (minus the discovery/dilemma of the center hole). Attached is the link to his write-up and YT video on it...
