Fiddly diddly stuff....

Jan chose the title for todays post :-) Draw what conclusions you want.

Worked on the cage today repairing the damage when some brilliant sole decided it needed cut.  Bent the piece out yesterday and welded it up this morning when the wind was calm.  then ground it down and made it look purdy.

Made a stand for pushing the stub axle out of the hub, tried yesterday but my impromptu stand was collapsing, not a good look when your dealing with irreplaceable parts.  So today I made a support that Chuck Norris would be proud of to hold the hub in place while the 12 ton press pushed it out.





Victorious stand, looks like a one holer?

Cage ready for some love

Bottom cage piece with crack that I'll weld up. Got damaged by jacking up the rear end without appropriate block to take the load.



Purdy new cage, now just need to clean up all the other sh... stuff, yeah stuff, that's what I meant to say....

Placed and order with SNG today, they love you Michelle.  Monday will continue the cleaning process and decide what to do about the calipers, I think we should send them of and have them re-sleeved so we don't ever have to think about them again.
Cheers.

  1. The cage repair and paint looks great! Nice work! BTW, I like your red bucket for right side parts and whatever color that is for left. Did you get Tony or William at SNG? Tony seems very friendly :-)
