phoenix2013 Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Old Goat's at it again, no he's not chasing nannies. Can you guys figure out what the hell he's up to now. He was bored in his retirement, so that's what he came up with in the middle of last night, still working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix2013 Posted October 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) OK, I see a need for a clue. No it's not an ET cover, these are already designed and produced. The clue, it's 12" x 12" x 3" Edited October 4, 2021 by phoenix2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noteven Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 After braking the gaps will be welded with heat controlled TGMAW process. It will have two side holes drilled that could not be lasered due to braking process. It will be black. It is a fake ET Hitch top plate for Florida residents to point at and say "it is not a 5th wheel hitch - see - no hole for the king pin" when they are at DMV registering their truck not as a truck but a motorhome.

This is such a clever bunch, I knew you guys would figure it out. noteven, I was of the same opinion: It will have two side holes drilled that could not be lasered due to braking process. But I have, grown, learned and evolved. The first time I've seen parts with holes bent on the brake at Young's Welding I expressed an "opinion" about holes lining up. They explained that their brake is CNC controlled and they have software for it. They are able to plug in the material grade and properties, radiuses and it calculates springback, etc. After seen the results and line-ups to within few thousands, only my advance age prevented me from experiencing what some describe as an engineering orgasm. OK my fellow "co-designers", what's the next part I need to design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryl&Rita Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Now, that's not cricket. Posting pics, and then changing them after the fact. My local machine shop has had a CNC press for a few years, now. Each piece off a new source is ran through the QA/QC process, to confirm that the machine knows what it thinks it knows. I believe the library of samples has grown enough that they only QA/QC previously unused material now. It is fun watching it spindle, fold, and mutilate a chunk of steel I can barely move.

noteven Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 Next design idea - a walking beam tandem trailer suspension, like a Raydan truck suspension that was invented at Edmonton AB now owned by Link, only not that heavy.

So, this must be the plate for "ET Light".
