Hydraulic steering rack


Gearbox casing cover plate, probably not top team F1 or even F1 as it's just not got the right attention to detail level, at a guess if could be a Formula E part


Used this company, some pictures of their machining quality

Sectors - Blackmore Precision Engineering

Pushed the design so far on wall thicknesses that the internal surfaces required supporting when the outer surfaces were final machined to stop the part deflecting away from the cutter
Impressive.
