Thread: Sitec's 101..

oh wow that front bar looks awesome on them!

So, while Im waiting for a few things... gears, fan hubs etc I thought as I have the steel I'd get into making the new bumper. My original isa little tatty and has some rust spots so its time for the 'Sitec Special Mk 2'! First off was to draw it up, and make the adjustments from the original.

The second job was slightly more tedious... Cutting it out using a 125mm thin cutting disk (or three)!!! Here's the outline cut out of 3mm. Yup, it sounds heavy, but once everything is cut out, its not.

And this evenings job... Cutting the light holes out! Each square was cut using the thin disk, and then the corners were finished using the die grinder. Once done, the whole thing has had its edges buffed with a flap disk.

And one last bit.. The 4 holes for the original lifting eyes! Just adds to it! The holes at the end of the cuts are to help when folding, so the two edges don't bind. Off to be folded tomorrow!

Here's a pic of the template for the first bumper I made. I had access to a CAD profile cutter so we made a 1.5 mm tester... My best mate reminded me that it was still in his workshop so we have all the key folds etc!

Any chance of the cad files ;-) I'd love a single head lamp version!

Looks rather smart it must be said. Fairly epic cutting it all out with the grinder.
Tha needs a plasma cutter!!!
