Pics of Riverdave's handiwork on my boat

[cyclone]

I spent two days visiting Riverdave "the one armed bandit" at his shop in Carlsbad and here is a sample of the cool parts we machined for my boat. All of the parts were cut from solid aluminum on a lathe and mill.
heres my new coil mount:

Nice work Dave. It looks like I might have to challenge you with some bracket designs I have in mind.

I made a MSD bracket for the font of my 460 Ford a few years ago though it is not ball milled I thouh it would be nice for some one to sell them for the people not able to make their own.It is amazing what a metal turning drilling and cutting tools and a imagination can do to a pice of alum.The Rogers is looking really detailed Mike.

looks like another new mpd ride plate. i thought i was cool when i got the first one with the new thicker/stronger aluminum, no stiffeners on the ride plate? i bet he told you to hard anodize it too. looks good, its nice to see people making good progress with quality stuff.

Dudes, I hate to break the bad news but, I sold RD those parts. They came off my bike and he bought them from me.

[Ranz1]

Looking good Mike. One question....on the cooling valve pic what is that brass looking thing?

[GlastronGuy]

Looking good Mike. One question....on the cooling valve pic what is that brass looking thing? You talking about the pressure regulator?

[cyclone]

hey Ant, Glastron is right, that is a pressure regulator for the water inlet line.
