Thrust Plates

G code file for machining the outer shape.









Six thust plates profiled from the offcuts of the grouser plates.
The plates were drilled by CNC, a 10 mm centre hole and two 3mm hole.







Each plate was held on a 10mm pin by two 3mm cap screws for the machining of the top profile








This photo shows the thrust plates clamped in position by the U-bolts. They are also held in the frames by a bolt tapped into
the lobe of the thrust plate as in the prototype.
