decided to push stretching to the limit using a sheet 1.5mm alloy .. and after several tests got to this nice mount for the Lamp :)
The sample in the images below is made from straight sheet metal alloy !
A shape like this was simply impossible for me to shrink by hammer ! or maybe if it would be possible ( nothing is impossible )... but probably with a lot of work and some helping tools like a shaping stencil ( that would help forming it , and would be very expensive to produce )
As you can see in the image above there is a big difference between the steel dies and the Teflon dies ( used for alloy )
Now that the light is on I can get back to reading :)
I am very happy for you!!! Now that you have the right tools the only thing is about creating beautiful bikes... It is a dream come true for me to have a bike build by you. Thanks for building the Ducati for me and being a good friend ! Paul
