No need now. Got a decent motor going.
Saving the goat....
Why should that stop ya drinking??
Is it still beastiality if ya fuck a frozen chicken??

My expending waste line?

We're all expendable, I'd be worried if it was expanding.............

Stupid fuckin phone...and me for not checking.We're all expendable, I'd be worried if it was expanding.............

Al fabricated up the dogbone and linkage arms for the front suspension yesterday.
I'll be going to see a mate at another machine shop this arvo about tig welding the top triple clamp so the front can go back in and we can weigh it and get the shock rebuilt for our application.

Quite the eventful afternoon on the job.
I tacked the top triple clamp up with the mig, but it doesn't have the range of adjustment to properly weld aluminium. Took it to some mates at an engineering shop, and got them to tight it up. Job was free so I won't be too harsh, but the guy was a tad generous with the filler rod.
Because it's in a cunt of a spot with a gusset brace, I spent four hours with a bloody wood chisel hammering away material to create a flat surface for the thing to be bolted together.
Anyhoo, got that sussed. Al brought home a box of goodies for the suspension, and by lunch time tomorrow should have the spindle pressed in the forks, and the hole bored into the top plate. Front end can go in and stay in from there!

For how long?
you building a Sidecar or something for a Flintstones Movie?
Ta
I hear ya. Bloody ridiculous way to do it. But effective if not time consuming to the point of insanity.
I considered getting some grunty as sanding wheels for the dye grinder, but the wear out quick as fuck when you're trying to cut loads of material away.

Got all the bits for the front end now. All the bits to remount the chair wheel hub too, but there was a slight problem with my welder.
Managed to fix that tonight, so tomorrow arvo perhaps we'll make some progress.
Ta
Got some bits finished today. Also carried on with the brakes, master cylinders and bias bar are done, just pedal, linkage, and lines to do on those.
I'm sure Kai will be along shortly with the pics I loaded to facebook.

10 churs
keep up the momentum it'll be done in no time.
heading up to chch tomorrow night to spend a week solid on the agip bike! yipee, pretty keen to get into it (and to try finish the trailer, at least a rolling useable flat deck.. fuck the enclosure and hammocks)

What exactly was the problem with the existing front end to require this kind of re engineering?
Or are you excercising your age old right as a sidecar racer to do things a whole new way thats never been tried before just because you can?
Ta
The shocks were cheap shit, with no adjustment as to damping...And very little damping anyway.
The linkage system gives us rising rate too, so the further through it's stroke it gets, the damping and spring graph curves ramp up. It is also serviceable and can be revalved for different tracks and surfaces. This is very handy with so little travel. 50mm at the axle.
We are also exercising said right.
Pissed about with the wiring today. Trying to find the oil pressure warning light wire in the loom. Fucked if I can find the plug that used to go to the dash though, so will wire up my own. That is basic as. The temperature gauge wire is not so simple to wire ones self, so it occurs to me now that I'll have to find said plug after all. I am not looking forward to that, so I might just put another sender inline somewhere and do like the oil pressure thingie.
Oh yeah, we went and got an oil pressure gauge too, so we can make sure that shit is doing what it should before we ride it.
