Project started
October 2023,
We carefully cut off the rear castings,
taking care to not cut all the way through as we will re-use
the bits that stick into the tubes. |
The first casting was fairly easy to mount
in the lathe to clean it up, the other one required some improvising
haha. We made some slugs with a male and female side, so the
slugs slid into the tubes and the castings slid into the slugs.
We deliberately machined them so we would have a nice big gap
to get good welding penetration. |
Next week we weld the swingarm
and we start with rear axle, hub, brake etcetera
