Cham_E_Lyon TPC Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 The idea was great! Airflow will be maximized. But, wouldn't the fan be off-centered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMawd Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 off center? vibration dampening fan grommets Using a 1/4" size drill bit to make the mounting holes, this allows the fan grommets to fit. Vibration dampening fan grommets installed. I use #10 x 5/8" Black Oxide Phillips Pan Head screws for mounting fans I really like the F-150 pick-up from District 9 For the exhaust fan grill, I cannibalized an early Monsta Rad grill prototype we made this year.

MonsterMawd Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 I've cut the window from Lexan. It's tougher than plexiglass/acrylic, but 2 or 3 times more expensive. It won't shatter or crack "easily" You can buy Lexan sheets at Home Depot, Lowes and some hardware stores like Ace. The window will be fastened with 1/4" socket head screws, for reinforced armour look Using center punch to mark each fastener hole. Roper Whitney No. 5 Jr Hand Punch kit available here Hand punch (estimate $60 new) "Look Ma, No deburring needed!" The benefit of using Lexan is that you can drill or hand punch it without cracking it. Clean hole cut! I love Lexan. Ironically our concept drawing calls for bullet holes in the Lexan "bullet proof" window...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonsterMawd Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 The concept called for bullet holes in the window Using 3/8" drill bit Using wire cutter to make cracks around the hole Etching Rotary Tool (or Dremel) Engraving Bits Using the dremel to emulate some cracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxession Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Lol, I saw the pic with the drill and thought, "A drill ! Better be careful not making any cracks!"...then I saw the other pictures... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMawd Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 I'm adding bullet holes to the case too, so I drilled holes in the 840's aluminum panel. I then used a tin snip and needle nose plier to cut and rip the 3/8" hole open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMawd Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 whoops, the window will mount on the inside of the panel, not outside as shown..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
