Huina 580 grading bucket modification

[pedrcri]

Hey Guys, If you have a Huina 580 and wanted to make a very affordable bucket for grading then do I have the solution for you!!!

first buy an Bruder grading bucket Its about $9

I then traced the shape of the Huina bucket where the pins attached and copied it to some simple L shaped aluminum. you can get it at your local home depot or hardware store.



Then all you need is to cut the shape of the attaching points with a bandsaw or a dremel.



last step is to widen the gap at the top of the bucket to fit the new L bracket you just made and then make a couple holes on the bottom piece to screw into the bucket. pretty simple but just make sure you measure your gap between the bucket top portion so it is not to wide or narrow. use your Huina bucket as a guide.



Then all you need is a little spray paint. I went with some dark grey primer and some automotive aluminum spray to give that used look.



thanks and if you have any questions let me know I can help.
