Hi Lads Tonight i thought i would put the apron back together ,just to refresh the brian cell and to see how bad things are , and they are BAD . here is a shot of the gearing in the apron , the large gear dose not run in the correct position on the clutch gear.when saddle travel is selected. also there is a thrust bearing missing ,were you see the three washers , thats how it was when i stripped it . :scratch: The repiar job that had been done to the clutch/gear, a loverly bit of welding . so i will have to make a new cone cluch with gear , so it lines up with the other gear. The rest of the apron gears And i found some damage to the 110 tooth change wheel On the plus side the thread indicator works OK :lol: Cheers Rob |
