As Stefan had left the parts in my workshop, I was able to grab a couple of pics. I dont really know much about this particular mechinism, but I'm sure Stefan will chime in to explain all. This is the original part, made up from 3 pieces that were most likely stamped out of sheet steel. This pic shows the newly sized and prepared steel block on the left (it's upside down, I forgot to allign it with the pivot hole at the bottom :doh: ) and the original piece on the right. The red circled area is shown is extreme close up now to show what the problem is with this part ( If I remember right from what Stefan told me :scratch: ) And from the other side (and just to confuse matters from a different angle) I think the problem lies in the poor manufacture of this part, the edges show in the 2 close-ups are not well defined, and I guess because it's made up of 3 pieces it makes it kinda hard/impossible to smooth out and crisping ( is that a word, if not I lay claim to inventing it ) it up so that there is a nice sharp edge to it. I'm sure Stefan will explain it better ( and that would not be hard to do looking at my attempt at explaining something I know virtually nothing about :lol: ) Tim |
