There is this option, but it doesn't come cheap and you still have to buy a slave cylinder japan.webike.net/products/1853627.html

Part the phith;

So,I decided to try and sex it up a little bit with some profile routing.What a drama!

On the 18mmMDF template,I marked out what I wanted.


I cut another template to shape. (With the copy bit Im using on the router,the template is 5mm over size to the final shape that I want)


Testing it on the 18mm MDF




Looks ok.Now for the real thing.



Not so beautiful.Sanding with the rotax didnt help much.Even the angle grinder didnt help


I ended up making ever decreasing templates to try and get a reasonably clean finish


This is the best I could do.



So,thats where it is at the moment. I plan to clean it up and drill some holes in it .Illl run it through the blast cabinate to even out the finish.

P.S.
I can see the attraction of using a CNC machine or even a table router would be better. I dont have a table router and though it would likley only take 5 minutes on a CNC machine,they have to program it which takes more time/money. I have the woodwork tools already and the aluminium plate cost,maybe 25euros so this was the cheapest way to go.
Here is my work table right now with all the templates I made for this project;



If your time is money,It might be better to just but one.There are plenty of aftermarket kits available,.Or draw out what you want and take it to an engineering company with a CNC machine.

I have a friend with a flow jet....Quite a cool piece of equipment!
We draw parts in Inventor and export it to the flow jet. Not too expensive either!

Either way, good job on the cover dude!
