tomburras 2,730 Posted March 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Was honestly watching that as you posted it! Propper job! Quote Link to post
tomburras 2,730 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Just an update - iv got the 6mm milling bit on the way and sorted permission to use a propper drill press. Just been polishing the piston ready for the bit landing. Hopefully if it arrives this week I can get the button recesses drilled in. If not it will be in 2 weeks time until I can do it. 1 Quote Link to post

Theres a base clamp to secure the piston so It can't move so I'm sure it can't be too difficult. I'm just planning on sinking 6 shallow 6mm recesses for the buttons to sit in then carefully polish them down until there's a nice smooth fit. Theres not a lot of room to play with so the buttons will be very shallow I bet but ill give it a go anyway. If it goes wrong I'll just order a new piston. 3 Quote Link to post
MickC 1,825 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Would three buttons 120* apart not do it ? Less friction and less work for you. Quote Link to post
tomburras 2,730 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Iv just been playing with the drill press on some scrap and thank god I did or I would have made a right mess! Having thaughts about getting it done properly now. Not easy getting that bit to bite in right! Quote Link to post
tomburras 2,730 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 After much deliberation I think I'm going to send it off to shauny on bbs. I don't think I'll do a good job after my experimenting in the workshop! And want to make it the best it can be! Quote Link to post
tomburras 2,730 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Well apologies for another change of direction! I had it all polished ready to send off so I put it together with tbt bumslide and the wonky donky drop in kit and wow its just amazing! I highly reccomend the tbt bumslide and a mega polish! As my 85 had 100's more shots through iTS just getting better and better. Tbt bumslide is my choice of lube from now. I really couldent reccomend it ebough. Quote Link to post
