Maxwell Manufacturing

.bong is getting one hell of a 911, thanks to Mikee for his thoughtful approach to building cool cars. This engine brace and mount came for hours of design work and discussion on look and feel of the piece and I think what we turned out is perfect.

I posted 12 times in 2024, basically once a month.

In the spirit of setting realistic and obtainable goals this year, my mission is to post more than I did last year.

Notice I said "set realistic and obtainable goals" and not "don't challenge yourself" for those that need to hear that 😉

Here's to growth and a great 2025

Some times, it’s the little things

New logo design, same baller s**t, but like.. more. M2 (M squared) stands for Maxwell Motorsport, my actual LLC name which I am assuming and doing business under going forward.
This is a signal shift to prioritize Motorsport specific work as these are the long term goals, to provide a wide array of services for people looking to do out of the box stuff.
Services have and will continue to include:

Made a (literal) handful of titanium -12 to straight pipe adapters for a friend, really excited to see what makes with them :) these were fun to do and expect to see more titanium stuff soon..

A friend of mine is rebuilding his 4.6L engine and wants to do it right, he asked me to make a torque plate for honing purposes so of course we did it right with 2” thick 6061. As it turns out these will also work for the 5.0 and the 5.4 as well or any engine that has a 100MM bore spacing with a 100x99MM bolt pattern for bore size up to 3.75”.

I made an exceptionally functional fixturing pallet that takes the genius of the mod vises and marries it up with the utility and versatility of the 20” dual station. Looking forward to making a bunch of fixtures to mount to this sub plate :)

Oops! Rushing leads to mistakes, this was me assuming my tool stick out was good enough, clearly the world had other plans. Looks like the collet tried to friction weld itself to the part before I was able to hit the E stop. Scrapping parts sucks but not learning lessons sucks more than :) here’s to learning.

This is an alternator bracket I came up with for a customer who has a custom RZR with a sled engine swap. He need more juice than the stator could supply. This is a novel way to both tension and hold the bracket in place using a gear mechanism.

Made from 1018 to be nickel plated.
