Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

I played with making my alternator bracket today. I didn't have any 6061 square aluminum big enough but I do have some round. I buy mostly scrap for making little things. I pay between $2-$3 a pound delivered for it so if I screw something up it's no big deal. I put it in the lathe to get it round and square so I had a good starting surface. It goes against what I normally do but I'm trying something different. Nobody told the honeybee that aerodynamically it couldn't fly. We'll see how it works out. Thank you for your time.
