@@boerharms2209 all started with me wanting a dream set of wheels for my mk1 granada, so I can't see why not

@boerharms2209 also you should look at my 7x16 manta alloys

@@stevo5222 13s or 14s would go out nicely to 15", or 15s out to 16, or 16s out to 17s

@the_bearded_backyard_engineer was thinking about making them wider ie 7j to 9 or even 10j

@@stevo5222 could do, but you won't get tyres off

​@@the_bearded_backyard_engineer Oh! Why's that? Pretty sure you can get 265/35 15 tyres Banding is the word I'm looking for, if it's possible with alloy wheels

@stevo5222 you'd have to watch more of my videos to understand why you can't just ""band"" certain alloys....hence why if you wanted 15s, you'd have to start with either 13s or 14s

@@robmeneice5060 and I love making them

@@fatpeter-u8t possible, adding 1.5" to the front might give you tyre fitment issues, especially if you are fitting low profiles, but not the end of the world

Youre welcome ​@fatpeter-u8t

@@the_bearded_backyard_engineer You are of course 100% correct and to be honest I think in retrospect that it would be quite odd to use a civilian job title or rank as a prefix in that way. Soon after I posted my smart remark I started to realise that it was a bit silly. Oops. No offence intended. Just an attempt at humour. Kind regards, Howard.

@@phillmcaverty imagine being inspired by Chad, and actually admitting to it

@the_bearded_backyard_engineer by Chad I know you meant bad Chad. Other guy out his way is fitzys fabrication

@phillmcaverty I want my days of welding rusty old chod to be behind me...got the Bwanada to get back on the road, my pick up, a dolomite to go over a 120d, this F1 to finish, then possibly the Minor COE to build, and on top of that, just bought a 405 estate, that failed the mot yesterday on inner and outer rear sills

@ricardosmythe2548 not my car, and I doubt he'd take less, he doesn't actually need to sell it

@Bawkr sorry no, I've tried steels before, and they are way to much hassle to get true....aluminuim wheels have a thickness where they fit together like lego, where as steels, that ain't even usually totally round straight out of the bat, it's almost impossible to line them up 100% true

@@the_bearded_backyard_engineer I'm going to give it a shot but I'll follow the steel videos on it. Course for the 13 to 15 part I will have to improvise as I only see widening done but I do know that people have liped these wheels however it was probably a business that does it often.

@Bawkr OK, what you are going to have to do is take your 13" wheel, and cut it off just above the slopping angle, then take your 15" wheel and cut it off just below the sloping angle, then chuck the wheel on your lathe, and turn your cut into true, then put your 15" section onto your faceplate, and bore it so the ID is the same as the new OD on your wheel, then somehow line your 2 pieces together and weld your new join.....then repeat for the rear section. Once you have your 3 pieces together you can then decide how and where to ""band" to get the ET and the width you want

I once accidentally charged a battery in reverse....it read a full 12.58v, but had next to zero ampage

@the_bearded_backyard_engineer I don't think the video I watched proved it would do anything, he just showed a voltage. He might not have known. Once they're shagged they're usually shagged. I've tried bataid tablets with varying results. There's a chemical, I can't remember the name of it something like bdca that I think is in its make up. I tried finding some in the labs but they don't have it. Cheers for the reply

Melted up 16 litres of molten ally tonight, a bottle of gas is currently £97 and ive priced it that its taken me £3 worth of electric....so i can do 15 melts of this size with propane out of a bottle, or 15 melts for £45 of electric.....and this is silent, where as a running the propane forge is like a hurricane jet engine.....thanks for your concern though, and enjoy your cold chips

@@the_bearded_backyard_engineer Gas is cheaper than electric by about 5 times or more and bottled gas is the most expensive way to buy it. you did not melt 16 L of ally with that thing. I new I would get a hostile comment back. That thing is only 3 kw you said. That is a house heater or electric kettle power. You claim you use £3 of electric and it would have been £97 using bottled gas, that is ridicules. I estimate according to you calculations of power and electric at 35 p per kwh you melted 16L of ally in 3 hours with 3 kw of power with that thing you got there. I don't think so but ? you showed what looked like steel plates you where going to cast, 8 kg of steel in one melt with the power of a kettle. I don't know exactly all the details but its all looking a bit suspect at the moment, that's all .

@@billcogneeto7286 look at the latest video, thats 8" deep by 7" wide, believe what you want

Melting up just fine, on my doing my second pour of a negative mold now.....didnt have enough in the first pour...ill add a video later tonight

And its not open top, the top is covered

Dont do anything at home

Thanks....i love to show how to do shit on the cheap

Totally gone a different direction....check out my latest video

Tell me more

4043, but the welds on this wheel are only so-so......its just a knock up

@@the_bearded_backyard_engineer nice man, thanks. Ive got a project similar, but ive gotten stumped on the ally to use. Making 15" faces fit 17" barrels.

You mean apart from it ingesting a litre of water through the intake?

Wow how is it possible ? Where was the issue

No innet wings, no filter cover, 2" deep puddle

It has.....its leveled out at 11.79v......so fine for an led lighting circuit

Now all the used tyres are as hard as a coffin nail

I put them into everything

Tee total bud

! Sorry I’m out

If someone asks me to

I doubt it though, porsche owners just buy OEM
