Thanks Rob --- End quote --- Haha, indeed it is a bit away. Sunny Florida is a bit of a journey and I feel a bit guilty at the $450 it commanded :laugh: Been searching for the right rig for years and Right time at the right place I guess. Just know it is quite at home as I fancy good pint of Bodingtons, Guinness the occasional taste of Meade :D In all seriousness though. it is a steller machine. All gears are tip top (sans the one apron pinion gear/shaft mentioned) and the worst part is merely the fascia and the 12 coats of paint thru the years. I realize this is 360* from what this forum is about , but here is my current project (since my Harley(s) have been done for years) http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?2805002 I am more of a mechanic/fabricator than a machinist, so I have no facility to cut gears and what not, but your thread is a true inspiration. Not sure what I will do about the Apron Pinion yet, but if you are interested in fabbing up that piece, I very well may be interested. I looked at getting a Gear and cutting down the shaft/gear to fit, but I am not sure that is the best route. Cheers, Shawn |
