Having sorted the design phase, it was time to start making the pieces of the power drawbar.<\/p>\n

I started on the mounting plate<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

by cutting a piece of 16mm plate<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

boring a 35mm hole and counter boring to 45mm to a depth of 8mm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Drilled 4 x 6.2mm holes and counter bored to 11mm to a a depth of 3mm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Finally drilled the air cylinder mounting holes and tapped to M6.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

These are drilled<\/p>\n
