small project because it's too cold to go outside

[lostforawhile]

ok heres a small project I've got going,it's too cold out to do much outside today,so I'm repolishing the brackets I made to hold the power steering hose and Ac hose over the exaust manifold.
these are usually purple,but the paint had become damaged,so I have already beadblasted it off. when they are done being polished they will get a candy purple(of course) that is translucent
ok the brackets themselves,these have two pieces that attach to the bosses on the exaust manifold

the part that attaches to the manifold gets painted with black engine paint

since these are billet stock and media blasted,I used clover compound(valve grinding compound) to smooth out the aluminum first,with a dremel

I use a small felt bob both for the clover compound and the polishing compound

I'm out of mothers right now so I'll polish tomorrow,this is the bracket at the very front of my engine,you can see it in most of my pictures

looks like terminator style mounts

Do you have a mill to make those parts? Or did you modify something to make them into hose brackets like those? Either way, I bet they look sweet compared to the broken plastic straps on these cars LOL.

yea those are made on a bridgeport,I need to make some other ones,but haven't had time to yet. I hate those plastic clamps too. if you look at some of the engine pictures on my site under my signature,you'll see these clamps over the exaust manifold. they are purple in the picture,they will be purple again soon.
