Tell me about those Urethane inserts - have you got a mould/cutting die for that shape ?
They look just what is wanted for the family of Kawasaki clutches used on 600/650/750 fours....The OE rubbers always collapse.

I made a die, as you would expect. I'll post diameters for you on Monday, I'm off on forced weekend off/holiday, wife said!Originally Posted by Grumph

How well do the bushes stand up to warm oil?

I've used Urethane in situations where they were "wet" with no probs.
frankly, I'm being lazy, hoping to get what i want off Neil rather than doing a die of my own.
If they're suitable, I have 2 customer kawasaki's they'd go in, plus Yow Ling has another...

Yes I think I do !
My neighbours diary says I have boundary issues

i had a good weekend and I finally managed to do my first casting which was a very good feeling. It wouldn't have made the grade (in a commercial sense) but I considered it a success even though there were a few issues with shrinkage, leaving some cavities in the middle, this I can no doubt rectify in the future.
i machined it and bored out the middle to see how big the cavities were (enough to spoil it if was to be used) but I'm nevertheless flushed with success! (It's roughly about the size of my fist).
The wooden finned pattern is just something I used to practice my pattern making (soft pine, very fragile) = not much good!
To be honest, the moulding and casting isn't really as big a deal as I thought it would be, even though this time I stuffed up the moulding by using greensand which was slightly too dry! but now that I've got started I intend to continue to improve until its right.
What is it? - well it's a .......um......phuctifino!

Willy,
Congratulations yung fella, nothing like the first splash.
Not sure of its overall dimensions, but the central shrinkage was probably inevitable without a core or a chunkier riser.

Thanks Ken,Willy,

I did have the feeling the risers might be a little slender but it was such a nice day, nothing was going to stop me (not even a stuffed up moulding) - I thought, what the hell, let's just suck it and see and think about it later! - can't waste a good day like this, they're a bit few and far between here at the moment.
The ally I'm using is probably high silicon ( a couple of small diesel pistons and a couple of injector pump bodies) a bit poor for machining but ok for this purpose.

If I had to use Viagra I'd probably either have a heart attack and keel over - or die of shame!

Might be a few sermon's screeched from this pulpit, hopefully.
