Those brackets look great.

Here are the ones I made for Branden and Tige.
Wish I had access to proper machines.

I wonder if a roundover bit in a router could handle cutting aluminum? It is easy to machine but cutting dry it tends to clog some cutters. I don't know if your router could handle cutting fluid as long as you don't get it in the bearings or router motor.
If it could then with several passes taking small cuts you could do roundovers on blanks of aluminum you have cut to shape. Jigging the part so it wont move and you have a solid surface to run it so it doesn't tilt causing a bad cut. A variable speed trim router would be what I would test it with on some scrap.

If you have done it without CNC yours are better ;) What is the price of one houre work on CNC in US?
You can make mine design with waterjet and than add fillet by hand.

Not sure about this. But fillet can be added with some hand tools... If you want to spend time on it :)

A quarter round bit in a router works perfectly. It's the quickest and most accurate way to get a nice radius on an aluminum part. I'm playing around with this very method on the custom triple trees I'm making.
All you gotta do is do what you gotta do.

There is much small stuff going on. I haven't updated the thread for some time... been busy. I received so much stuff for the engine for engine. But first some small custom stuff ;)

I finished final design of cam and primary chain tensioners.

I cut on laser some stainless steel sheets.



I am waiting for plastic to be cut on cnc.

Also I made some central wheel for cam tensioner( explanation High Performance ยป CycleX HiPo cam chain tensioner & primary chain tensioner). It is made of 4721 steel and then nitrated to 55Rc.




And I made several torsional springs for primary tensioner. I wanted to test different diameters of wire. I ended with 3mm black wire for springs. So it is a HD spring 0.1mm more in diameter then stock ;)... And of cores you have to heat threat your springs if you want them to last...



And some custom rocker shafts. 4721 steel nitrated to 55RC



And this is still cheaper then oem things ;) One of the reason why I am doing this :)

 Clutch covers are common, but need to match your points cover, come in angled and straight.
 Starter are hard to find originals, they are being made again.
  I made a 3 point spinner thing that went on the three clutch cover bolts, with a tappet plug in the centre... cant find a pic.
 Fairly easy to make versus a finned one.

frank is right about the starter covers.  there is not one to match these.  the one with straight fins was a beck arnley, the other with slanted fins, matched a different set, name slips my mind.  damn, i miss my memory...

 Not sure what they were thinking when they made the slanted fin ones?
Anyone seen a finned valve cover lately ? been a long time for me...

I saw starter cover with finnes going sideways. Don't like those.

That cnc cover are really nice but after good polishing on classic ones you will not see the difference expect maybe in your pocket :)
