  1. 20210408 - A look at the RT hub with the new holes drilled to accept the NRG quick disconnect.

  2. 20210408 - RT [T] for Thompson! And in this case [T] for the top too!

  3. 20210323 - NRG logo at the top. It's not that important, but the devil is in the details and it takes and angel and some prayers to get it there! :P

  4. 20210323 - Frodo has his ring and his task got completed. And I have my ring too and I finished mine. So, I'm channeling my inner Frodo -----...

  5. 20210326 - Getting ready to assemble the adapter together. I can't count how many times I have assembled and disassembled, it's made my head spin. ...

  6. 20210326 - Time to cut/grind down these stainless hex bolts. *NOTE: They must all be flush for proper fit*

  7. 20210326 - Hah! I thought I had them all ground flush. Little did I know that the one you see sticking out, yeah, had to come back out. I didn't...

  8. 20210323 - Tapered the newly drilled holes. The bottom one got a little garbled by the drill bit. I'll try and clean it up with a Dremel and a...

  9. 20210323 - Putting the wheel on the adapter for the first time.

  10. 20210323 - It was a long shot. :P Sorry! I'm just trying to make light of the madness and complexity too. This really was the most difficult thing...

  11. 20210323 - Assembled. That bottom hole will bug me even if I eventually can't see it. Details, details, details!

  12. 20210323 - I borrowed the broom from the shop elves. ;) No really, I swept out all the debris and used a tiny bit of Z-Max lubricant to help the two...

  13. 20210323 - So,TheLateDude grabbed the wheel from my hand and was doing some kind of (QAI - Quality Assurance Inspection) for something, not sure?. ...

  14. 20210323 - Man, that gave me the nervous-nellies drilling all those holes out correctly.

  15. 20210323 - Blurry photo, just like the past two weeks or month that matter, for which I've spent doing this mod. Having the broken tap and no backup...

  16. 20210323 - Getting prepped to mate the steering wheel with the adapter.

  17. 20210323 - Another shot as I ponder and hope that my holes are aligned correctly.

  18. 20210323 - If you tap, don't dance, or you just might break a leg, or the tap for that matter. At least I got it out! The new one is from McMaster...

  19. 20210323 - All tapped out! :)

  20. 20210323 - Testing the threads that I just tapped with the new one.

  21. 20210323 - I drilled a side hole w/bolt & threaded to add a set screw to tighten the two adapter plates together. *NOTE: If you do this, make sure...

  22. 20210317 - Shot of the (set screw) on the left.

  23. 20210317 - Assembled, but I'll need to trim all the bolts flush with the hub.

  24. 20210317 - Close-up of the threads that need to be cut/ground back.

  25. 20210317 - Looking snazzy! I plan to clean-up the tapers with a Dremel since the bolts could go down just a hairs worth more.
