Costom tension bolts or studs
there is a local bolt manufacture in my area. they can make any style of fastener in any size and thread pitch.
i was thinking of having some custome studs made up. has anyone else gone this route? |
Why? There's commercially available stud kits, both stock sized and oversized.

why? i want to eliminate the middle man!

Its going to be FAR more expensive to have one set made, if its going to be a decent product. The only way I can even offer them is by making them in bulk, same goes for Rohan...
Heat treatments, straightening etc is expensive... they are about 450 from mazda trix and i can get my engine doweled for 600 but thew say i cant use them with the stock flywheel |
Are you talking the oversized guru stud kit? The oversized kit requires the complete block to machined and re-threaded to use them. The machine work alone for a 2 rotor engine will be close to $750.00 and more for a 3 rotor. Add the cost of the Guru kit and you are talking about $1200.00.. about double what it cost to simply pin a 13b motor.. For you 13b guys I am not sure how worth it it is but for people like myself currently building a 20B it is needed on the longer 20b engine when you have plans of making HP above 500..

I had mine 13rew studded with the oversize ones. I only put 3 stud on the spark plug area. All the PR running 4 on their 7's 13B. If you have a drill press and know how you can do it yourself. I was quoted $600 from the machine shop and it cost around $250ish for the drill press at Harbor Freight. It's not as hard as people make it to be but hey I'm a rotaryhead on a budget :D
My 20b is completely studded all 18.. |
There's probably too much slop in a drill press to accurately drill the holes (besides, you should be drilling them under sized, then reaming anyway). You could do it on a manual mill with enough time and patience. For instance, you could make a fixture to locate the pieces by the stock dowel pins, then do one hole at a time on all the plates and housings while keeping the mill in the same place, then reset for a new hole and start over. This will take a lot more time from having to keep changing the plates and housings, but if you've got your own mill and the time to do it, why not right?
