Re: Broken cast iron end of Owen Dyneto generator for 1931 Packard

Hi,
I can reproduce most anything. Nothing too heavy meaning no engine blocks but I have access to a full CNC machine shop, a casting service and 3D printing as well. Between the three I can reproduce just about anything.
To answer the question by PackardDon, the machined parts are usually aluminum unless they require more strength. I have reproduced the shackle bolt for my '36 (picture attached) which was made of stainless steel for the required strength. If they are 3D printed or cast we usually use a zinc alloy which replaces original pot metal parts nicely and can be chrome plated with no issues (and they are stronger).
Regarding your comment about 'hiring an aerospace company', you don't have to worry about that. I am an aerospace engineer by trade and have spent the bulk of my career, (27+ years), designing parts on CAD so I'm very proficient with 3D CAD design. I have several pieces of software on my home computer.
I will gladly design anything at no cost to anyone. I love doing it (plus I get really bored if I'm not working on something).
So to sum it all up:
- Free 3D CAD design services
- Free estimates on what the part will cost to reproduce
- Parts can be machined (CNC), 3D printed (with an accuracy of +/-0.001") or cast (casting will reproduce the smallest of details)
- No harm will come to the original parts during the casting process
- Reproduced parts can be easily chrome plated
I added some pictures of various items I've manufactured which are based on original parts that were on my car.
One is a water pump pulley, (mine cracked and I could not find a replacement), one is the front leaf spring shackle bolt, the bracket with the hole in it is 3D printed and the others are cast pieces before chrome plating.
If I can help, please let me know. That's what we're all here for.
Thanks,
Crin
