Oil tank plug ...
Stopfen für den Öltank...

Little weekend thingy because my old oil tank plug suddenly appeared to me as totally ugly:
Kleine Wochenend-Arbeit weil mir mein alter Öltank-Stopfen auf einmal sehr hässlich vorkam:

So, as usual, what's needed? Some round aluminum (7075) and brass, three rubber rings and...an 8-ball, taken from a mini billiard set, diameter here is about 35mm:
Also, was braucht man? Ein bisschen Rund-Aluminium (7075) und Messing, drei O-Ringe und ... einen 8-Ball vom Minibilliard, Durchmesser ca. 35mm:

 

First, made a small brass insert for the ball, drilled the ball and glued the insert into it:
Erstmal einen kleinen Messingeinsatz für die Billardkugel machen, die Kugel bohren und den Einsatz einkleben:

The plug itself is pretty simple, turned, with a nice curve on top. It is hollowed out (not visible here):
Der Stopfen an sich ist recht einfach, gedreht, mit einem schönen runden Abschluss oben. Innen ist er hohl (nicht sichtbar auf dem Bild):

Put together and after anodization:
Zusammengebaut und nach Eloxierung:

And finally, attached to the oil tank:
Und am Öltank angebracht:

 Cheers,
Axel

#13 Raceknuckle

Bunch of parts ... needed for the bike but not very exciting I think. First of all the right foot peg with brake lever, designed:

And made ... part of the assembly is already nickeled:

Next is a seat bar, designed:

And made...the bushing in the CAD picture will be made once the leaf springs are finished:

Next holders for the oil tank that will be welded onto the frame, design:

They were laser-cut out of standard steel:
