I was at my workbench trying to cut out the Gasket for the TB Top half to
bottom half.
It is a bit of a bugger trying to locate all the holes since some don't go all the
way thru the part, so one can't insert a marking device.
I tried rubbing some pencil lead on the part and rubbing paper on it.
That works after a fashion.
Then I had a brilliant idea!
Would that small part give a pattern off of my scanner?
I have an HP psc 1315xi printer/scanner.
I sat the TB top half and then the TB bottom half on the glass
(gently but gently!) and scanned them.
Wow!
Here is what I got for the TB Bottom half to the Intake Manifold:
Not 1:1 on this particular Forum - just FYI only....
It printed one to one! I now have a paper pattern that is the exact same
size as the item which I can cut out and use as a pattern for the Gasket
Material...... Once cut out, you can invert it or whatever you want.
One could also use a Xerox machine if someplace would let you do it.
Just don't break their glass! I think they'd be pissed.....
How's them apples ?
