if you have been following my efforts with producing Molds and Rubber components for the Bellett's, you would know I have managed to produce Timing Chain Tensioner, Steering Rack isolators and Sway Bar rubbers.
to date I have not fitted a Chain Tensioner inside a running engine, so I do want to test that before selling them.
Steering rack and Sway Bar rubbers have been fitted and are working very well.
but I have been wanting to produce a more difficult, 3 or 4 piece mold and pour a successful rubber component.
as I won a brand new rear brake cylinder on eBay and it included the rear external handbrake seal, I decided to give that a go.
the mold process was not too difficult, but every pour I did was incomplete with the rubber missing at both ends.
but I continued trying different ways of preparing and pouring and tonight I opened my first successful component.
Wahoo!!!
that was particularly rewarding as it can be even more difficult to produce a good part in colder weather as temperature has a significant part to play in failure or success of the pour.
just one more part that I can now reproduce and not have to worry about running out.
below are a few photos. the good pour is still on the base mold and one of the failed ones sitting beside it.
