<p>I'm afraid hes gonna break it lol. He goes harder than I do.</p>

 

That's exactly why I want to know what he thinks of them.

 

<p>Lol, not worried about the brakes, worried about the rest of it.</p>

 

<p>@deezums @hi_im_sean what are we doing for centering rings. Did we find pre-made aftermarket ones? Or are we making our own.</p>

 

I havnt looked... deezums? Unless he finds a cheap easy offering I'll just make them. Give me the od, id and width and I'll knock some out and send them to you for testing.

 

The size we need, for the fronts anyway, arnt very common. 54.1 to 64.1

you could be on ebay for a while sorting through them all

 

I'll probably buy the metal ones. I need 4 locally anyways.

 

I did not. I did offer to loan you my M-Tuned ones for design purposes but you opted out?
wat.

You young kids and your fancy designer drugs, back in my day all we had was weed and alcohol and we got along just fine.

 

Prescription since 3rd grade here. Back when they actually used a small amount of discretion when handing the **** out. I'm nonfunctional without it, my brain doesn't know how to focus.

<br />Guess I'm hunting for brackets. Hope I can find some.

 

Surface mount soldering sucks, especially DIPs and SOICs abd the like. I avoid it whenever possible.

I used to use one of these at my old employer.

 

<p>if you really want to ball out, you just get a surface mount oven. lay all the parts out. heat it up.</p><p>Or a hot plate works too.</p>

 

I did component repair, not building new boards

 

<p>Good thing I'm a software guy, my hands are just too shakey.</p><p>Should i get those rings sean? Or would it be cheaper to have you make and mail them.</p>

 

<p>First site had them in aluminum for 8.75 a piece.</p>

 

<p>do we think aluminum is necessary?</p>

 

I have oshpark SMT toaster oven, used to laser cut solder masks. Solder paste is too ******* expensive and dies too easy, do not like. The toaster was only $40 bucks though, so there's that.

I bought $15 hubcentric rings on ebay, from Lithuania!

Rings needs to be 54.1 to 64.1 as previously mentioned, I bought 54.1 to 64.0 because it's cheaper. They need to be 6mm thick, I'll turn these down if necessary. My lathe uses 16C collets standard, for me to turn rings I have to remove the collet nose and stick a chuck on, trying to avoid that..

No, no aluminum necessary.

 

<p>So you don't think the extra .1mm outer diameter maters?</p>

 

Nah, not really. If I recall I think rtele was a tenth shy on that side as well, maybe.

 

<p>alright. i'll buy em.</p>

 

Yea 0.1mm isn't going to matter, order them.
