Do you use anything special for the crosspin? Hardened or regular mild work well enough in this application? Broken drill bit end? LOL

Think grade 8 bolt. I think it will be fine in this application. Drilling the case mounting plate. Made a two position face plate.  Uploaded with ImageShack.usFit together and tacked in place. Works fine.  Uploaded with ImageShack.usNot bad for cutting out the parts with a torch and my Craftex drill press  Setting the alignment was a bit of a pain   Uploaded with ImageShack.usThen just for fun I decided to check how close I got it.  Uploaded with ImageShack.usWithin about .005. But since my measuring tape doesn't read in thous. ITS ALL GOOD!  Almost finished welding.  Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us |

Moved the kids buggy into its driveway cocoon  Uploaded with ImageShack.usThen moved the big buggy into the shop. Of course the clutch was stuck yet again . Not gonna miss THAT!  Boy does this thing take up WAY more room than the kids buggy!  Uploaded with ImageShack.usLet the tear down begin!   Uploaded with ImageShack.usI'll change a few other things on it as well. Like moving the tank, adding a cross brace to the back and whatever I may have time for. |
