Here is my material. A piece of 2" shaft(will be the pivot axle), A piece of 3" shaft about 1.75" long(will be the dust cap and support), and a piece of heavy walled tubing (will be the hub). Got the pivot axle roughed out. Here is a hundred thousands deep roughing pass with a hand ground HSS bit on a LeBlond lathe made in 1932. I'll try and get this piece finished up tomorrow evening. If there re any questions please feel free to ask(o: ~Wes~ |

Tonight I managed to get the hard bits done on the axle for my rear bumpers swing out. I turned and polished the bearing surfaces, tapered the middle, and threaded the end for the castle nut. I just need to cut it off and turn the other end down to size. I'll start boring out the hub next. I want to see if I figured everything out right(o: Later, ~Wes~ |

Hi Wes. It seems, everyone's watching you, but no-one's got anything much to say......... Personally, I'm trying to figure out...... Just, what is a rear bumpers swing out?? :scratch: Never mind, it will all become clear, in time. Nice work on the axle! :thumbup: David D |

Hi Wes! Been following this, and the Penny thread, you are sure motoring along! Wish I had your truck, with those bumpers, over here, just to intimidate the tailgaters and cut-off artist that seems to come out when I go to-and-fro work! David D, Wes is making a spare wheel carrier that swings out to let him open the bed gate (on the truck, that is...). I gather those wheels are quite heavy, and the dimensions for the carrier (and the bumper) need to be quite, eh, substantial... Kjelle |
| AdeV:
That's looking really nice Wes, class work. Did you make the castle nut yourself (I would have done)? |
