Andy are you holding back, I don't remember you being so polite.

Before machining
This is what I'm making the exhaust trim rings out of. I have 3 of these Aluminum 5.75 ID X 7.75 OD X 2" Wide.
I plan on cutting 2 of them in half for the 4 outside transom rings 1" thick.
The other one in 4 pieces 1/2" thick for the inside transom.

After machining
Finally got my trim rings machined for the 5 1/2" cannons. We beveled the outer and inner of the outside rings, drilled 6 holes on the inside of the outside rings so no bolts will show from the outside of the rings and inserted Heli Coils in the holes so the aluminum won't strip out. Now they are off to be anodized

I got my exhaust rings back from the anodize guy today. I had them done in 2 staged black. The drives / tunnel tab / and rings are all black. I'm very happy the way they turned out.

Never ends does it VV. Bob

I think what Bob is trying to say is, "He has boat motors that cost more than the homes we live in".:lolhit:

Bob has Finished the engine compartment on the Cat Project. She looks like a naked lady waiting on chromed transplants. There is a difference in a bilge that's been painted and a bilge that's been painted right. The time, patience, and work that went into this is bar none as nice as it gets. Thanks Bob!
