TD1 gaskets

[skategoat]

I came up with a nifty solution for protecting top sheets from the damaging effects of TD1 cant discs - pot holders. Picked up these silicone pot holders at Wal-Mart for $9.78. They are just sheets of silicone. One of those sheets is the perfect size for two TD1 cant discs. They are waterproof and hey, they withstand heat up to 575 degrees F.

You just use your discs as templates. Mark the perimeter and the hole locations. Use a metal ring of some sort to punch out the holes. I used an old BNC connector (silver thing at top of first photo).

Works like a charm. Thin and tough.

What does BNC stand for and no looking it up? That would be cheating.

Oh, and don't forget to use longer bolts to mount the base plate to the board. TD1s use 10mm use at least a 12mm.

These things are really thin but tough. Doubt you need longer screws. Now I can throw out my ghetto looking inner tube sheets.

From http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/B/BNC_connector.html , BNC is short for Bayonet Neill Concelman connector. Quite uninterresting... :confused: :sleep:

I knew it as the Bayonet Navy Connector ...which according to Wikpedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_connector) is a less common name for them
