Sc500 fuse pocket

[satan18]

Construction of the fuse pockets has begun and is going well
It didnt take long to get the right dimensions copied from my original.
I made the pocket deeper to allow for trimming once located in the bomb casing.

All i have left to do is turn down the outer fuse tube to make it a thin
wall and weld the lot together.

I have made two identical pockets and one lifting lug for the main body.

Threads etc

Cracking job there Satan looks like a nice piece of machining with some made to measure "custom Threads" for the locking rings etc.
Were all the bomb dimensions in Metric ?

Prety much everything german made uses the metric system and for the larger threads its just a question of working out the pitch and depth of thread.
and setting the screw cutter up and having a practise until its
spot on,as with the fuse pocket and my 17fuse lower casings although
i had to put what they call an undercut in the fuse pocket tube to allow
for the locking ring to slide down and screw in.
