    I made an adapter to put a VW TDI engine in a Nissan D21 truck. If I did it again, I would make transfer pins that thread into the blind holes, clamp two places over the pins, partially marking those locations, tap the other location with a hammer, and then this could be drilled. The way I did it, I individually did each hole, making lots of on and offs.

  • @nerd1000ify
    @nerd1000ify Год назад +19

    The correct technique for drilling holes with machine tools (drill press, lathe, whatever) is to pilot drill with a drill that's just a bit bigger than the 'chisel' (or center non-cutting web) of the final sized drill, then drill to finished size.
    There are a few reasons for doing this: firstly, engaging the full width of the drill's cutting edges helps keep it centered so it doesn't curve off course or make a slightly triangular 'lobed' hole. Secondly, the rake angle of the drill's cutting edges varies from the middle (where it is very low, often negative) to the outside (where it is very high, often 30-45 degrees). As a result the outer parts of the drill are weaker, they benefit from having the inner parts to add resistance and prevent them taking too much load all at once. And finally, a related issue. If you make your pilot hole too big the drill may act like a self tapping screw and violently 'self-feed' into the hole, resulting in either a spinning part of doom or damage to the drill, depending on the relative strength of their respective clamping systems. Brass is notorious for this (which is why people often recommend 'dubbing' the edges to reduce their rake angle if you're drilling it) but it can easily happen in steel as well if you make your pilot hole too large.

    for anyone watching and thinking about adaptor plates (perhaps it not a thing in the states I have never seen or worked on a saturn) but here in the UK most all FWD gearboxes are aligned with dowels its these dowels that set the correct location of gearbox and engine, the bolts are usually rather loose fitting. when making adaptors this is where you need to focus for alignment.

    For clutch clearance, all you need to do is maintain the same block to flywheel face dimension as the factory. On your Saturn the front face of the flywheel sets *into* the transmission .674". Put another way, the flywheel is .674" proud of the engine block mating surface. As long as this dimension is the same with your adapter, the clutch will work fine.

      Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow..

    That “center” drill bit is for cutting a tapered opening in the end of stock for a live/dead center to sit in on a lathe. While they do work well for establishing a straight pilot hole, usually mills will use a spotting drill to establish a good start for a larger drill.

    Hi, followup to the last video, I plan to publish the full library of transmission adapter plates that I have. I am acquiring the entire library of templates that belonged to Electro Automotive, since they are no longer in business. I used to manufacture adapter plates and hubs for them 12-16 years ago and I have quite a few existing CAD files. I plan to create a Github repo to contain these drawings.

      @@PatrickKQ4HBD I need to do some cleanup of the CAD files to make sure they are presentable, then I can export DXFs for sharing. I used BobCAD back then, so the source files are not "standard" format. I need to scan a bunch of drawings of hubs and assembly views. Then I need to scan the patterns, stitch them together, vectorize them, and convert them into scale drawings. At the end I developed a workflow using a B size scanner to scan the full size adapter and convert that into a drawing. Unfortunately all of the original computer files that EA had are gone, so only my copies remain. The adapter patterns are 1/3rd of the equation, the other 2/3rds are the crankshaft hub drawings and assembly drawings that show fitup and depthing dimensions.

    These are so much fun to watch.
    This is a lot more measuring for the template then I'd have done tbh. You can establish center after the bolt pattern is established. Lots of easy ways to transfer a bolt pattern and bellhousing shape. I would also have skipped the plastic template, but it makes for good visual examples of what is happening, so I like it in the video.

    I legitimately probably would have never thought to use plexiglass for mock-up purposes. Genius.
    This makes all kinds of fabrication a lot quicker. My mind was basically stuck in transfer punch and/or cardstock mode for some reason.
    Obviously cardstock is great for just about everything but there's definitely a time and place for a see-through version. Cheers.

    your method of creating the adapter plate in stages with templates is an awesome idea. i have a couple of similar projects on my list that have been in a holding pattern waiting for me to figure out how to move forward on them without it costing me a kidney. using polycarbonate to create a see through template was genius! i had been trying other methods unsuccessfully and had about given up and was thinking of looking into DIY surgical methods to raise capitol in order to move forward with them. with my limited geometry and algebraic skills, this seems to be a more viable option and much less painful. my kidneys thank you! i would really have hated to split up the set, i've had them kicking around for over half a century now, and i'm sure they would've been sad to be separated.

      This will not work well the fuel pump is calibrated to run at a steady rpm ie full throttle all the time and the hydrostatic transmission that these engine are connected to do all the work of controlling the speed of the machine
      Same if you use a bigger diesel engine meant for a stationary machine the fuel pump is not made for a road car and need to be swapped with the road going fuel pump counterpart for any kind of drivability
