Silver Bullet

[LostAussie]

Anyone have a link for the silver bullet.

Have looked on DD4H site and can't seem to see it.

I don't see it on the site right now either - it used to be located here.

DD4H did just move across the country, maybe he is looking for a new machine shop to make them locally . Only a guess.

That is correct. Newer version is in the works.

Thanks John. Sounds good.

Any improvements for the new version such as compartment for storing canting pins and drill bits etch as was suggested in some other thread.

Will keep any eye on the site.

One other question on the silver bullet. If I have a car that is already built and uses slots is there any reason I can't put it on the block to drill holes for better canting than the bent axles I have on it for pack race.

You can, but some guys have had trouble with the drill bit deflecting when trying to drill into the existing slots. It's safer to drill just above the slots, deepen the slots to intersect the holes, and then trim off the bottom of the car but you said your car is already built so that may not be an option in your case. If you try to drill into the existing slots feed it slow with the drill spinning 2800-3000 rpm. Try a couple spare blocks first, check the alignment, and make sure you have the process down before you try it on your car.

unless you drill high like bracket is saying it wont work drill bit will wander

I would flip the block over drill it and then add slots with my band saw or a hack saw.

Looks like the SB is sold out. Are they made every so often and will become available again anytime soon? I'm new and would like one so I don't have to worry about messing up the axle holes on a drill press, etc.

Sorry any confusion, I'm looking for a SB pro (I guess). I'll have to search and find the difference between them but figure SB Pro is the current version.

PM sent.

i remember getting my sb pro from the first batch..... ah the memories

 

[jimmiec]

Thanks. Found one. Now to try and drill some holes this weekend.

Really would like to get my hands on a SB Pro. Maybe I'll just grab "The Block" from jewkes and try that out till SB Pro is available again. The clear jig looks pretty neat too

 

[B_Regal Racing]

I would get the clear jig if the Pro is not available. Skip "the block."

 

[TWarwick07]

Agreed B Regal !!

If you arent skilled on the drill press go with the jig , I have both and the block is useful as well but the jig is fool proof

They pop up on the board for sale every now and then. You better jump quick if you see one!
