cas Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 nice brake boosters and can you tell me how much it cost for the aluminium metal and how long it took you to make them please thanks thanks man.my dad got a big 3mm thick sheet from work. i have no idea how much it would cost or where to get it from.. wouldn't thought aluminium would cost that much. it took me: . 1 day to design it and roughly cut both of them . 1 night to file them down and all that . 1 night to drill holes, make spacers, polish and set up the brake so 3 days.. just about you could probably put one together in a whole day or two maybe. depends how good you are i suppose... lol could make some more..sell them off for a tenner ?? caspa.

JsyJoel93 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Very noice job just thought of something even sexier, if you can mask off the holes, then spray it black and have the silver holes, would look soo nice i think and you could be getting your self a little business going here !!Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJtrials Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I personally haven't made a brake booster but I know a few people who have. They made them from small motorbike sprokets, the ones which the centre could be removed from if needed... I was young when I was told this so I can't remember what they did with them but they looked good lol..CJ.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pav Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Wouldnt you be scared to use a motorbike sproket as a booster, because wouldnt the little gear knobs be hanging out like daggers?I think I would be getting very very injured if I used a sprocket as a booster!Got any pics of it? Or any pics of the riders legs who used them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that makes sense.. Sorry, it's rather hard to explain lol. I'll try and get a pic of one if any of the lads still have one.CJ.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, that sounds much nicer now haha!Hey, if you wanted to make a booster quicker? Couldnt you just draw out the shape and then use an angle grinder to cut it out, but not perfectly, then just use a file to smoothen it all up? Wouldnt that save you heaps of time of cutting with a hacksaw then filing down and down till you get to the line your meant to file to?
