Outer Ali Ankles

the second set of ankles had been made by myself out of aluminum.
here you can see ankle one already welded, ankle two in parts (not complete), already bended:

now the first ali ankle has it´s own bearing and tubing pressed in:

as you can see it has some light imperfections; these will be of course eliminated!

Ali Greeblies time

after having welded all of the second leg sheets, grinding was quickly done!
next step was to see, if all greeblies will fit the way they have to...

let´s have a look...

yess!! they do! under shoulder details aren´t on the pic, i couldn´t find them, when i made the pic! so holes have to be drilled there to get´em fixed!

next are the ankles. i made a set in steel and another in ali. but i haven´t made my decision which parts to use on my r2 unit... anyway, if someone is in need, maybe i can help...

Steel leg work

some more progress on the second steel leg!

here are the pics:

outer shell parts tack welded together. tubing for leg/ankle lock welded in.

bended sheets for under shoulder details on their destinated place, but not yet welded in.

everything inside is welded in now. outer sheet is welded too now.

now some more grinding and maybe rewelding and grinding to get a perfect leg.

and of course not to forget adding the small gap on the lower leg area to match the booster covers gap.

some minutes of welding and grinding later...then test fitting the ali horseshoe...

looks pretty good!! yeah!!!
