They're Koni 8641 that I have taken off about 160mm total (80 housing and 80 top)

Not the best insert from Koni but still good I think.
Modifying the strut is the least of your problems

Made a Plazmaman copy for my RB20. My tig isn't all that consistent yet,but it should hold up to a little boost. Not looking for any hp improvements just wanted to clean up the piping.








Also put together a coolant swirl/expansion tank and added a -6 bung and line to the radiator.

Because with a fmic you're eliminating your bumper support so that is the bumper support.

More pics of your lathe!
Looks like it was made in the late 1800's to early 1900's. Me likes antique shit.

P.S.
Those tool post and holders suck... Had that style on my first lathe... Garbage! lol

It's a 1938 iirc. I know the tool holder isn't that great but I can't afford to get myself an Aloris QC so it'll do for now.
When I bought the lathe the guy also gave me South Bend's "How to Run a Lathe" book as well as other goodies

I have been getting a ton of messages and emails with questions about my cnc plasma table.

We talked with Plasmaroute and decided to make a video showing all the aspects of the machine that you need to know about when considering a machine.

I take you through the entire process of designing the part, converting it to a G code, and cutting it out.

Watch it here and let me know what you guys think.

Good lord that must have been a project in itself just to restore it to working condition again. But you just can't beat the old time lathes. Built like tanks, and no plastic.

Made myself a new tool holder as the armstrong could only hold 1/4" tool bits.
