Personalising my Beall PW

[PenPal]

The unit is mounted on a Bamboo Cutting Board, Full width angle brackets bolted on and down after alignment to the vertical.New holding 3/8 bolt to hold the Mandrel recessed to a snug fit by at least 5/8 inch. A knob locknutted to the end of this shaft.

The mandrel threads have been extended to allow additional locknuts 1/4 inch.

Being an early model a 5/8 inch bolt travelling nut flat to receive the locknut to hold it firmly in place a disk of nylon to interface on the Acme Screw.

The number plate on our car. I have had it seems forever when I had a Datsun 260Z in my middle ages. P for Peter me and W for Wilma my wife of 54 yrs best friend for 57 yrs.

Not shown yet the brass spacers and Dust receiver in progress. Happy New Year Peter.

Excellent improvements Peter!!!:wink: Perhaps more folks will now do these mods and these PW's will be brought back out from under workbenches.

You should have kept the Z car, they're worth a pretty penny now. Did you guys in Oz get the Dazzle Datsuns? I had a SSS for a short time until I wrecked it:redface: during my youth.

Anybody with a PW hiding under a workbench is welcome to send it my way!

As for Z's... one 76 (L-jet, oversized TB, high flow injectors, 210hp at the wheels), and one 77 2+2 (nowhere near as fun).

I love your mods Peter.
