Did some work this weekend. Play was stopped Saturday as I had to go pickup a friends new purchase in my Mondeo (a 1991 which is solely used for moving motorbikes and engines):
Got that back to his, fell asleep after an 8 hour drive, etc. Sunday, I decided to get the last piece of frame ready for coating so I took the tray and wiring loom out of the subframe:
I needed to get some work done to the swing arm so I dropped it off to a local engineering firm today. They’re going to turn up some new threaded collets to replace some that have fallen out (The chain guard screws into them). They’re also going to remove the stud that snapped off in the right hand bobbin mount. When it’s done I’m going to take it to a TIG welder and get them to TIG the collets into the arm. Then I can take the whole lot to the powder coaters for blasting and coating. The bottom triple was looking a little sorry for itself with lots of horrible corrosion damaging the lacquer etc. so I cleaned it up and prepped it for painting:
I’m leaving the primer to set, then it’ll get painted black tomorrow.
