After Finalizing our design and acquiring a large rod of 7075 Aluminum, our hubs were machined fully in under 3 days. This is how it was done:
1) The rod was cut into four pieces here in the Dalhousie machine shop.
2) Technicians Albert and Mark power through and rough out two hubs each in under 4 hours, making some serious chips:
3) Hubs are taken to SureShot Dispensing Systems to get brake rotor, drive stud and tripod housing profiles CNC cut as well as slots for retaining single lug nuts by Brian and Steve.
4) Threads and finish work is done back at Dalhousie by Mark and the hubs are ready to go! these things are insanely light!
