Concentrating on completion of rear axle dust shields. Fabrication completed on the 4/8, primed on the 5/8 and sprayed first coat of black today. Also finished machining brake adjuster pins (top picture below). These need to be case hardened.
Stages in fabricating dust shields:
Trial fit before cleaning up the welding
A big C
New dust shields now have conical sections welded in, just awaiting laser-cut centres from Lakeland steel then they can be finished. Started machining new brake adjuster pins today for the rear scissors adjusters.
Replacement dust shield during fabrication
Finished mounting plates for bump stops and fitted them to the axle, first item to go back on: see below
Replacement bump stop mounted on axle
This picture shows the new bump stop rubber I cast in a plasticard mould. The plates have 1/8″ spacers turned from bar and welded underneath.
