This is a small example of precision versus accuracy. The former being the effort you make to be accurate. Also showing that quality digital calipers used with care can be very accurate. Many say they won't trust them below 0.1mm. I say they're ham fi**ed.

For those wondering the target size was 30.0mm over a length of 150mm. Measured variance in 3 spots was 0.003mm.

Coming soon to an exceedingly tasty, big block powered GTO set for imminent debut. This simple looking process of adapting original style hubcaps to a contemporary wheel actually took several designs, iterations and attempts to get right.

It's now 100%. Mallard has a new pond and we're armed and fully operational! Bigger and better. New equipment, expanded capability. It was a turbulent move with extensive delays beyond my control. All that's done with. Onwards and upwards from here.

Thanks to Artopian Cromer for the quick work on the sign and delivering perfectly.

First use of the new jig table too. Man I've missed having one of these.

Nothing like an urgent keyway job to end the day! Tricky to clock alignment with existing keyways. Luckily where there's a duck, there's a way. For the maestros at Motortorque Mechanical Pty Ltd
