Made a start on a filler neck today. Turned from alloy bar (not sure of grade) with a 12tpi thread. Quite happy with how it's turned out for my first real attempt. Ready for boring. All done. Now to make a cap for it :) |

:thumbup: If that is your first attempt you are destined for MadModder greatness. :clap: If you don't mind us asking, what is it a filler-cap for? Would an undercut to thread root diameter at the inner end of the thread have made life easier, or couldn't you do that for this application? |

Thanks. I'm quite chuffed with it :) I've turned bits but this is really the first bit with threading etc. it's for a water/ methanol tank. It's not clear from the pics but there is a thread undercut against the shoulder. Parting off was really the toughest bit although I now have to make a cap that fits lol. |
