Anyone looking for a diy cradle?
Anyone looking for a diy cradle?
Worth me bothering?
I have just got a supercharger kit, and noticed there were a few people trying to build diy kits. As my cradle is sitting in a box, and I've got a Faro arm, if there is enough interest I can look at inspecting it and get a cad drawing together for fabricating new ones.
Worth me bothering?

Only slight issue is copying something that is 2nd hand and possibly not perfect, you'll just be replicating errors. Looking at the construction though if it's a few mm out a bit of brute force should see you right.
I'll get some prices off my tame fabricator. What sort of money would people be happy to spend? Seen £200-300 bandied about, should be able to beat that.
The arm is far more accurate than the cradles manufacturing tolerances

el_bandido A CAD file of the cradle would be perfect.I'd say a Cad file wouldn't suffice and it would be extremely hard to make. You'd need to make a jig to be able to replicate all angles and measurements.

If you do it, you're sorted for a few sales on here I'd say. Remember you have to be a paid up member to sell stuff though!

I'm sure there would be plenty interest as three or four have been trying for over a year to borrow a cradle to make up a jig to diy the charger setup... and nobody's had a cradle available to.do the jig...
