Itā€™s sooooo close to done. I need to touch up a couple spots where not enough red frit locked in. Which means I need to also apply a bit more black graphite mica, too, or it wonā€™t match. Then one coat of epoxy on the bottom, and ceramic, and itā€™s ready to build. Well, if I get lucky and one of my enclosures fits xD
And then I just have idk 14 more to do?

what are you planning for enclosure mounting on it? I wouldnā€™t want to damage that beautiful deck top with holes straight through.

I left the existing shitty through holes on it for now so that I can mount boosted gear and get it back on the streets asap :wink: but, with the aggressiveness of the concave, inserts are basically off the table, so Iā€™ll probably use minimal bolts, epoxied straight through the deck, and re-frit over the bolts. When the time comes.

Oh, and I think itā€™s relevant that I will be using rubber AND metal washers on top while it runs boosted shit. I donā€™t wanna mess up this finish, after all.

Which one is that?

Sorry, no pictures were taken :confused: imagine a motor with a through-shaft, which is turning both wheels. Iā€™ll be doing something similar in the near future.

Same exact one from as this one but without the flipsky branding.
