Exhaust armour lifting lug

Post by Søren Sandvold »

Hi all.

I'm about to make some lifting lugs for the exhaust armour shields. Does anyone know the correct dimensions?

TIA

Just a follow-up on what I did regarding the lift lugs.

Turned the lugs in brass on a lathe.
Dimensions i used was:
The shaft: 5x12mm
The endknob: diam 8mm 2.5mm thick.
I drilled a 5mm, 11mm deep hole and adjusted the lenght of the complete lug to protrude 7.5mm from the casting. I glued mine in with slowcuring CA.
Correct placement and depth of the lug should be determined by your heatshild cutouts.
