FS- Connecting Rod and Main Cap Rebabbitt Fixtures

Post by Dan McEachern » Mon Jan 24, 2022 8:27 pm

We used these fixtures for years to pour Model T and A Rods and T main Caps. Not fancy, but works well. Needs a toggle clamp added at the top of the fixture to clamp the top pouring plate in position. Rod boring fixture is for T rods. Rod fixture is mounted in place of compound on a 16" South Bend lathe with a boring bar between centers. Could easily be adapted to another size lathe with a little work. I hope the pictures are self explanatory. This design allows you get your babbitt into a tinned cap before the tinning cools too much to get a good bond. Price is $150.00 for everything. Shipping via USPS flat rate at cost. PM or dmcgearsATyahooDOTcom. Thanks.
