I am interested in making a # rotor style block, but there are a few specifics I wanted to know before I got started. The #rotor website does not have the "block of the masses section" which I assume talks about disigning your own. I have access to a bunch of aluminum flatbar scraps it is only 11mm thick if I remember correctly.
-Is this thick enough?
-How deep should I drill the holes?
- is 8mm a good size for the holes?
-What about the fittings?
- 1/2 inch BSP fittings are familure to me , and I know that the thread area is much longer than 10mm .
- should I just just tap the hole, screw it in and grind off the protruding remainder?
- what about the material of the fittings? regular steel, stainless, brass?
-on a side note, what about stainless tubing. I work with a hydrolics company and we have tons of scraps around. Is it worth the hassel?
im shure there are a load of other questions that I forgot, but here are a few pics of the disign I had in mind. don't laugh I actually used mspaint. It is for a A64 939 , but I want to test it out on a old socket 7 amd I have.
