Lebro Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 I presume they are to make the two parts required to fit to bonnet, not just to fit them ? Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bob That is just the installation tool set as supplied by Dzus. Almost 2 complete sets. They also fit the retaining washers for the other Dzus on a TR. Oh if only I had the press tools to make the fasteners..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 I bought a 3 tonnes arbor press years ago for 50 Euro from Ebay. For small items I use my column drilling machine. Does this help you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Press tools for the fasteners would probably need 100 tons and the metal would probably be hot swaged for first stage of forming. Subsequent would probably be machining. The fastener would need hardening after mfct. Then our old friend chroming Edited July 31, 2023 by BlueTR3A-5EKT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Over time these washer deteriorate. Can you buy replacement ones - no. I have searched, & enquired every where I can think of, but nothing is available. You can buy the whole cap, but at not much less than £20 ! So, I decided to start making them. The tool above was turned up on my lathe, & when pressed into appropriate rubber sheet it makes two circular cuts, producing the required seal. Tests on some scrap rubber I had were good, so have now ordered a largish sheet of 3mm thick Viton which should do the trick. Bob Have you seen this article Bob?

Lebro Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) No, but I don't have any CNC machines! 3mm viton rubber now arrived, & several seals successfully cut from it. Bob Edited August 1, 2023 by Lebro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
