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

Sorry Darren i posted at the same time .
:doh: now why did i not think of that ,as i do have to make a new nut any way :doh:
Cutting the tread was ok , it took about 1 hour to actually cut the thread , the rest of the time was spent turnning the bar to size ,i used the Myford , it did wear down the arms a bit on the travelling steady
Cheers Rob
