need one to support my turbo over my gearbox and looking at a bailey cosworth one it looks like two rose joints with some legs welded on.for over a £100 quid im sure i could knock one up for the price of two rose joints.is there something special about a bailey one that im missin

 

easy

 

very difficult. you would need to know the reasonant frequency and how to dampen it etc.

a turbo support, or hanger as they are commonly known is much easier

 

ok well hanger then

 

Diy mate, easy enough.
tabetha

 

just ordered my rose joints,£12 it cost me.will have rest of stainless bar etc at work.will post pics when i get it done

 

Good good... looking forward to seeing it i still have to make one for R6Franky's zetec turbo.

 

Hows it looking mate you made it yet

 

there you go mate 2 rod ends , stainless steel bar and hey presto! one turbo hanger , hang the rod end off the turbo bolt in the compressor housing and not of the turbo flange as the heat will knacker the rod ends in no time

 

any bigger pics paul.i ordered a new damper bracket for the turbo so will mount it there
luca will start it sunday nite when i get to work

 

Get andy to make you one mate

 

if the car was on the road mate id have been straight over for him to do it plus we arent busy at work just now so i have all night to play on the welders etc

 

quick update.got a few parts today,got a mock up of the legs also.will have to turn down the main body as its a bit thick.obvioulsy nothing is welded as im just heading out to garage to get a few sizes but should prob have it nearly completed tonight

 

so far so good mate

 

BLU TAK FTW!




Looking good that mate

 

blu tacwill ge more pics tommorow hopefully,might only be tac'd up as my welding is a but crap being a spark to trade and the welder at work is on the other shift so will get it left out for him but i will tac it atleast

 

never mind blu tac luke.heres some insulating tapejust to hold it to see if it looks decent.not bad i reckoneverythings a bit messy in there.needs a good clean when its done.

 

YOU made that? I'm almost impressed!

 

im in the process of makin it.should have most of it done tonight

 

there's next to no strength in that without making a triangle in the vertical plane

 

speak english man.vertical plane?

 

I was going to say the same thing.

 

well give me some ideas.im all open.i have no idea what the vertical plane is

 

I'd of made something to bolt onto the turbo from underneath onto the box, 2 rose joints, piece of ally round bar drilled and tapped? must be a bolt hole near the box that you can come off the manifold?

 

 

didnt want to come of the box as if a mount lets go it will take the manifold with it.well my thinking anyway.

 

If a mount goes, the engine/box/manifold/exhaust will move with it Steve!

It's no more likely to go by just bracing the turbo to the box, easiest way to do it IMO, IF there is a bolt to come off on the box, which im sure there would be!

 

right so if i were to put a bar across where itl bolt on the rocker cover.then a triangle up the way and from the point of this triangle take it down to meet the two ends at the rose joints??
vrooommm tshh i dd have a look around at hole on the box but it was doing my head in trying to get sizes when the turbo was bolted on as its really tight under it.its really easy with the turbo on and working above it.your point is taking on board tho mate.

 

I'd be tempted to make it like one of these, pretty simple to do too

 

I recognise that last one!

 

Steve, I know what you mean cant be a lot of room between the 2, Im sure what you've got will be fine!

 

cheers guys some good ideas there.will have a play around with a few tonight and tac a few things up and put some more pics up toomorow.thanks

 

heres the one i made

 

well had a busy nite at work.plus the welder wasnt in so done it all myself and it came out not too bad.the back leg is just for show.i need to weld in the proper one tonight at work but i need to take my rocker cover with me to get it spot on.there is now three mounting points.bolted it up this morning using the two and it was spot on so will be even better when the third is on and bolted down

 

finished and in the bay.pleased with it as it saved me a good bit of cashreally sturdy aswell.

 

Top job mate

 

good going, i have to make another one soon if i do carry on with me motor and fit the getrag box lol
