I can't really say exactly....   somebody would steal the idea 8)  We need to at least wait until the mod is DONE before the intellectual property is ripped off!!! ;D

Mine is only 3 as well. The 4th axis is usually a rotary table/vice that would turn the part on its side and upside down so you could perform machining on those facets also. They automate what I would do manually. For compound work, like for example an impeller, you would use a 5 or more axis machine. I have a friend who has a 16 axis machine, he actually has me cut 3 axis work for him as he charges himself too much :). What type of part is it?
PS By the way, I'm going to run a few of these while I'm at it in case any body needs one.

 [ot]Hey Dubliner, we (D1 and I) were just talking about you and your CNC machine.  I was at my buddy's machine shop last week, wanting a part made.  He said his CNC machine is only 3 axes, if I understand him correctly, and this project can't be done on 3-axes.  It has too many curvature details, in my understanding.

Does yours happen to do 4 axes?? [/ot]

Excellent!  I happen to have a cnc machine in my garage and I'll make one, by any chance would anybody have a vector drawing of that tri-bracket by chance. I can't see the measurements vey well. Bit of trial and error I guess. Great stuff guys, thank you.

Yes there's one hole for the peg and a rubber insert hole for the pipe it came with, (it's just a 2 inch straight piece welded onto exhaust pipe. ). So short of making a bracket that transitions from the one frame hole to the two V&H bracket holes, would anybody know what is missing?  My much sought after RS bracket is giving me a headache.

How many holes in the foot peg bracket? Just 1? Does that one hole have a rubber insert? If yes, then you have the much sought after r/s classic bracket with the rubber mount. The Drifter has a dual bolt bracket that lines up with the V&H mounting, but mounts the pipes without insulation.....The original exhaust has a long, rubber mounted bracket/support for the stock muffler, and uses/needs a rigid mount at the foot peg.

Ok, got my new V&H longshots but it came with a black mounting bracket that fits two holes where stok exhaust was. My problem is I didn't have stock on there and the pipes I did have we're only held on by one bolt/bracket that fit onto a hole on the rear foot peg bracket. Any ideas? There's no diagrams with thE V&H so I can't really tell which orientation the bracket should take as it doesn't seem to match up with the single mounting hole on the peg mount. Tia.

Shoot!......I just last week dumped a complete OEM Exhaust!!!!!  I KNEW I should have kept it........someone may need it.....
but I'm such a parts pack-rat I have to thin things out every once in a while. I would have given it up for the shipping cost.
Sorry Dubs.............

In Indiana they couldn't care less what you run.  You can run straight pipes if you want.  Shoot, if you're over 18 years old, we don't even have helmet laws!  About all they care about is if you have all your lights and a horn!

OK, so TRoll has a stock minus the Cat, would anybody have a cat for sale. I don't want to have to replumb the exhaust. I need a bolt on solution. Thanks all.
