People will love you! I could take off my rings as a template if there is any interest for buy. Would you be able to make more than 1 set? How much are you looking for them?

Jay, I reckon you could make a few quid out of bangin' out dial rings, I always felt they wre overpriced from new.

Generally, theres a bit of tape holding them in place although some owners choose to glue them in - otherwise, they're easy to get out.

That would be a good item for shop stock

by **ikeane** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 3:22 am

haha its gone a bit mad :lol:

I think we should ask jay if he wouldn't mind knocking out a few sets for a few people on the site.
Its gone from one set of rings to a list of customers. It looks like people would be willing to pay so its up to you Jay.

Has anyone ever got aluminium anodized? Just a thought...

by **jayod12b** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 6:56 pm

Tanx ikeane
Ahh no i wouldnt mind staying back a few evenings in work to make the dial rings thats no problem,
Theres goina be 3 different sizes so id be doing each size in a batch number then changing the program for the different rings.
I checked out the stock we had in stores today and weve loads of tubing for the larger rings but not as much for the smaller ones just solid,
So lll probaly have too get a length ordered in,
As regards your point about anodized,
Good point i was thinking of going down that road we do send batches of different metals to a place in dublin for different colour anodised,
lll find out the cost monday and lets yeas know :wink:

by **colm_mcm** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 2:58 pm

I'd be happy with mill finish. Any ideas on costs yet?

by **jayod12b** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 6:08 pm

Nearly there colm..
Took my own rings out the weekend measured them up and im happy that i can get the same polished finish on the lathe,
sent an email to the aluminium supplier on the cost of tubing but he hadnt replied before i finished up today,
Should have a cost 2moro for yeas all :wink:
