Broken stud removal with a new twist! + Engine stand mods! Machining time at Mart's!

[Mart]

Hello! Welcome to Mart's Garage. While building my last Flatty I realised my engine adaptor was bending. In Part 1, I set about strengthening it up using some handy material I had about the place. I had previously made some studs to use when bolting the block to the adaptor. I realised I could improve those so had a bit of quality time on the mill. While I was in the mood for some machining I made up some custom nuts to replace the nuts and multiple washers I had been using. All good simple stuff that makes the shop a better place to work in. Identifying weaknesses and making improvements is what we all like to do.
In Part 2, I show a broken stud being removed by drilling and welding. It worked well and might just represent one more weapon in the arsenal when dealing with those stubborn studs.
So sit back and watch me getting one job out of the way and trying to make my shop equipment a little bit better one piece at a time.
Mart.
