I have no idea, that's not something i've experienced but it certainly doesn't sound normal.

@@ImpracticalMachinist thanks for the reply, can't find any information about it either, messaged the seller so fingers crossed they can help me😅, keep up the good work!

Sorry it's not much help, I tend to think that if everything is flashing and nothing works it's probably faulty. But check back in and let me know because it might be of help to someone else.

@@ImpracticalMachinist il let you know what I find out!

I found out the issue, it seems i messed something up and fried the motherboard, after switching to a different motherboard of the vfd its up and running again!

The wheelbase doesn’t come with a table clamp included, they’re €29.99 to buy.

Ok thanks

Yep, and it’s a lovely wheel for that price too.

The pigment is gentian violet, it’s messy stuff though.

@@ImpracticalMachinist cant find where to buy it in my country, i will try with marker ink

Which country are you in? I bought mine from a company called APC Pure, they do ship internationally, I’m not sure how much that would cost.

It’s a couple of attachments borrowed from a dial test indicator set, nothing special or proprietary.

The one I bought isn’t on eBay any more, but this one looks pretty similar; www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272258660288?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=SZcXUAHpRc6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=xOFdZ7cNTze&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@ImpracticalMachinist Thanks much!

Out of curiosity, why didn’t you just use shrink wrap?

It’s working just fine, and I expect it will continue to do so seeing as there’s a bit of headroom. Outrageous is exactly right, I know they have margins and all that but it’s just a power brick.

It's still a work in progress, we ended up doing a load of work on the house so the workshop became a storage room for a few months.

I still am there just hasn't been a full batch made for a while. If you're in the UK just send me a message and i'll make one up for you, otherwise you can head over to my ebay store and message me there. Rust? The workshop is climate controlled these days, no more rust for me!

@@ImpracticalMachinist Will do.... and you should go back and rerecord all your old videos so those of us who are oxidaphobic (I made up a new word just for the occasion) don't go into spasms and start scheduling a tetanus jab when we watch your vids. 😁😆😆🤣🤣 Keep up the great videos!

I've got an autostyle seat, I can't remember which model but it's their wide version and It's mostly comfortable but if you have broad shoulders it might be a tight fit. Unfortunately it's sprung rather than solid fibreglass and a bottom mount rather than side mount for the rails which makes reclining it a matter of making up a custom bracket, so that's something to look out for.

I had to pay tax on the purchase, but if you set your location to the UK on the Fanatec website it'll subtract the VAT from the purchase price, so it worked out slightly cheaper than buying inside the EU.

Thanks for the reply @@ImpracticalMachinist i ended up payin £91 extra for what i purchased, your right the price works itself out and still a good deal on the bundle right now.

Wouldn't it! Unfortunately the workshop is full of the contents of our loft at the moment so I can't even get out there to work, never mind making videos.

I'm glad you found the video helpful.

Well if you want layout dye i've got a video for that as well!

That's great! I can't wait to see how you get on with it!

@@ImpracticalMachinist I used it in this one, it did a fine job 👍 ua-cam.com/video/z0ACMMm-ZGc/v-deo.html

😊😊

That's a good point, i'll have to stash a couple of bottles down the workshop.

Less than a week from ordering to delivery.

It was a generic monitor arm from Amazon, one that mounts to either a desk or a wall, and I just bolted through the wall bolt holes. It’s a decent enough solution, but if you have the option I’d go for a solid mount.

Yeah it’s a great wheel though I did sell it in the end.

Thanks.

It’s entirely personal preference, I find a broader handle a bit more comfy for the longer scraper but the narrower one for a shorter scraper where I’m actually holding the handle.

I don't think it'll struggle as such, and if you're bolting them to the Heusinkveld base plate then that'll stiffen the whole thing up considerably anyway.

Fanatec have just released a new quick release which is supposed to be good. However I’ve been using the mclaren wheel with the original “quick release” and it’s been fine, though if I were using a stronger wheelbase I would probably upgrade. As far as I can tell the quick releases are all interchangeable, it’s only six bolts to change one out.

Thanks! I do run off my laptop because I move the sim about a fair bit and it works pretty well. It’s an HP Omen 17, so 17” 165hz monitor, I7 11800H, RTX 3060, 16gb ddr4 and a 1TB ssd (though I’ve added a second to keep the sim separate from the operating system).

It’s pretty straightforward, especially if you’re going for a side mount seat.

That’s because it’s not supposed to, I do have a video about layout dye which does dry out.

So I guess I need to apply a veri thin layer like you showed in the video. I also have a fast drying red but I've never used it. Thanks

Are you bluing up for scraping?

@@ImpracticalMachinist I'm building an ATC BT30 spindle. I'll check the taper with it after grinding.

I didn’t test the pedals as while they’re nicely built with enclosed hall sensors and a decent heel plate, they’re still essentially budget pedals and a big step down from the ones I already have fitted.

@@ImpracticalMachinist Just what I did see people have issues with those and gt omega plate. Just the holes do not match.

The heel plate bolts should align with the slots in the plate, as they’re the same width apart as the fanatec clubsport pedal mounting points. It also looks like GtOmega have produced an adapter plate specifically for the csl pedals: www.gtomega.co.uk/products/fanatec-csl-pedal-adapter

@@ImpracticalMachinist and the price is ridiculous for what it is.

I couldn’t produce and sell a plate like that for less, and make money. And if you have the tools then it’s a no brainer to make your own.

More bolts here aren’t going to help because the problem is that the sheet used to form the plate is too thin to provide enough stiffness in the middle of the plate. The solution for me was to use a piece of angle iron underneath the plate that is wide enough that it almost reaches the sides, it’s not a perfect solution but it dramatically reduces the flex in the plate.

I can set the dial to zero and it’ll stop, but minimum actual movement speed is probably half inch a minute, give or take, but I can’t check it at the moment so don’t take that as gospel.

I was going to ask you to be in it! But you know how long it takes me to film these things.

I’d love to claim the credit for that, but I’m pretty sure that I saw Tom Lipton do it. That gives me an idea, I reckon I’ll have to make a few comparators and put them up for sale.

I don’t believe so, though from what I’ve read it may be the ramp time settings that cause that problem assuming your spindle is good. There was a thread where it turned out that the posters spindle was cooked.

I haven't got mine permanently mounted, I just clamp it down to a workmate for the moment and it holds on just fine.

Yes, the mounting hardware tightens against the shaft on the holder and the shaft on the gauge simultaneously.
