Harley Davidson Axle Caps ALWAYS corrode...These Won't...GUARANTEED !

[@enduromotorradtouren]

You make good use for your lathe. Things that last and make the Harley nicer than before. A rewarding day in the garage! Günter/Nürnberg

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, it's a useful machine for sure.

[@tommylitchfield3450]

The person who invented the self-drilling tap earned their pay that day. What a time saver! Those pot metal caps COULD have been cleaned up and painted...... but SOMEBODY just had to make some lathe chips, didn't they?? :) You are becoming a certifiable chip junkie, Delboy! A Spiral Savant e Speciale...And we love you for it!

[@Moonfleet41]

ha ha... No comment.. i can handle it, and give up any time i want...so there..lol!

[@springy-2112]

Great conversion job. We have delrin and a lathe here at work, but we also have machinists so I just give them a sketch and whatever I need magically appears!! 😂👍🤗❤️

[@Moonfleet41]

Ha ha, magic parts machine... we all need one of those buddy...lol!

[@motordown7664]

Great video Del. I thought for a moment you were going to countersink the fastener but it’s facing down so no need. Made by hand and no cost. Awesome

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate👍.. the screws are temporary, as i posted in the video, ill replace them both with grub screws once they arrive, then they'll be invisible..!

[@grosbeakmc]

Hi Penny and Del - great video! Nice fab work - eminently practical and attractive to boot. A great replacement for a corrosion-prone part. Take care, dear friends - be well and ride safe!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you so much for you kind words as always, and yes i agree, a really corrosion prone area, and what a great solution to the problem.. ! Take care and have a great week too.. D&Pxx

[@renzovc]

Another great video brother !!! Great work on the lathe 🤙 those tap and die drill bits I need to get asap lol !!! Stay safe guys cheers from New York 🎉🎉🎉

[@d.fresh.750]

Nice little touch! Simple, and elegant.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you! 😊, glad you approve!

[@rickrogers2649]

Really impressed with the material you used in this and several other videos. It seems tough as nails (shows no marks from the chuck) and machines so nicely without turning into a gooey melted blob. I could watch your machine work for hours. Masterful job Del and Penny. Many thanks. Peace to you always. ❤👍👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy, can't claim any credit there, it's Delrin Acetol, an engineering resin designed for the purpose, it's usually heat resistant, durable and as you can see, wonderful to machine... not far away from the same stuff that pool balls are made from. Have a great week there, and thanks for all your support, D&Px

[@rsbharley4766]

Nice video Del & Penny. Excellent job mate, they look the business with out the HD price tag. Enjoy the last part of your week, stay safe. Cheers

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate, you too! Glad you approve.. Have a great weekend.. !

[@LS-uv9gg]

Sooooo satisfying. It's awesome to see virtually any material being worked on the lathe, but for some bizarre reason this stuff has an almost hypnotically tactile vibe through the screen for me. I know, I know, "weirdo!" lol shrug. Another subtle but worthwhile upgrade tidbit on the bike to note, excellent.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed it.. it is a really nice material to work with that's for sure. Thank you for your support as always..

[@Bioxpress]

Nice job mate. Always look forward to your videos. With regards to the lathe, have you considered making some copper soft jaws for the lathe chuck? Made some for mine and they keep the work from getting marred, they work great. Just a thought. Keep up the great work. Cheers Paul (Australia)

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Paul, I do have some brass ones and have seen other machinists use aluminium ones, so yes, that's a great idea, not thought of using copper though... thanks for the tip!

[@madmarkuk1]

Another great job mate. Always a pleasure to watch thanks

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@allenhuling598]

Nice one, Del, much better than the original!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Allen, should last a bit longer too!

[@MrBoehol]

Allways interesting to watch your movies Del and Penny . You have a good eye for details . Good photo as allways.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you so much!

'Normally the preserve of limbo dancing tyre reps., Dorset scratchers have also now taken to fitting knee-sliders to their front axles. "They tend to do less damage to the other traffic" said their spokesman, whilst somehow maintaining a reasonable degree of tension all round.' (Got mugged by six dwarves last night . . . . . . not Happy . . . Have a brill week you two : )xx

[@Moonfleet41]

Yeah, same during Covid when we could only meet in groups of 6... one of them was not Happy !

[@tinks43]

Tidy job & such a snug fit 👍🏻 hope Penny is ok x

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy.. no room for water to collect, so hopefully the axle ends will stay nice and clean... Thanks for your support as always buddy..

[@raytokens2291]

Gotta love that delrin bruv. Stay safe and well D&P.

[@Moonfleet41]

Yeah, wonderful stuff, loads of uses and cheap too !

[@tonygriffiths2485]

What a great way to ensure the workpiece is square onto the chuck. I'd never have thought of that one. Possibly because I am as thick as two short planks, which may have something to do with it. Bless you :)

[@Moonfleet41]

Ha ha, i think not sir.. it's just a little life hack i learned from Joe Pie in his videos..! Hope you are keeping safe and well, and thank you as always for your kind support ! D&Px

[@pauldavis8421]

Nice one Del ! Nice to see an alternative to the usual bling ! and cheap as well , Great video !

[@Moonfleet41]

Yeah, simple and effective aye ! Thanks mate. glad you enjoyed it.

[@airborne3200]

Thanks!

[@Moonfleet41]

Wow, thank you so much for your kind support here Sir... Every penny helps towards running the garage, parts and materials, so we really appreciate it.. Take care and thank you again for your support.

Ah, the good old "lathe chuck key in its holder" shot! That's more like it. 😆

[@jasonshortphd]

Those look real smart. I like that a lot.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Jason, glad you like them!

[@hughferrie5201]

Great work as always. Can I ask how well will the Plastic hold the thread? Excuse my ignorance if that's a daft question

[@Moonfleet41]

No at all mate.. it's "Delrin", an engineering resin, hard and durable, and it will certainly hold the thread, works a bit like plastic number plate screws that don't rattle loose as the plastic grips better than metal without needing to be so tight.!

[@hughferrie5201]

@Moonfleet41 thanks for explaining

[@Cueballproductions1149]

Nice touch brake caliper star bolt covers any ideas as star bolts rusted?

[@Moonfleet41]

Drop us a picture mate, not sure without seeing it.!

[@frankG451]

Impressive work Delboy. Like your compact lathe. Was a machinist myself, you make it look simple. Nothing like a custom part that lasts and fits correctly. Usually store bought axle nut covers are bigger than the axle. 👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Yeah, that pair i showed at the start are 1/4" bigger than both the axle and the nut, rattle about everywhere.....and being made from pot metal, they just rot in a year...

[@gillestrombetta3019]

Bravo super travail

[@masterlordking]

Has the dealership got back to you yet about covering those bullies for that Harley

"Those bullies"?

Far from every tool mate.. and far from professional.. i just enjoy my hobby.. Thank you for your kind words.

[@Butterfly07949]

Nice touch, Del. Reminds me of frame savers. Don't want to use the usual name for them as I could have done with a set of these for my FJ12. Would still fancy some, though. Nice craftsmanship as always.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy.. Never be afraid to say his name, there's no fate but what we make !

[@tommontague5721]

Well done Del....As usual your attention to detail is Impeccable.

Thank you mare! Cheers!

Thanks mate👍

Nice solution and a great look. Nice work del!

Anyone can make a part but only a few can make the same part twice

[@Moonfleet41]

Wise words buddy, it's always a challenge to get it right the second time round!

[@Goldwing1500rider]

That’s Kwel project!! Cam gal did good job with closeups… got to thinking… why not put in security screws in prevent your rim being stolen?? Just being funny…Anyways…. I liked the looks of the cap… super invention.. pretty Kwel!!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy, glad you approve, they're just dress caps really, much like cars have hub caps, take care and enjoy your week!

[@PaydayGabeBCNV]

Nice work Mate👍. They definitely won't corrode 👌.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks mate👍.. i think i could place a warranty on that one..lol

[@arnybarmy]

Very smart and well fabricated too - they certainly solve the corrosion issue. Delrinboy's Garage - 😂

Sure do aye mate.. and will stay smart looking too.!
