Project started
October 2023,
After welding the brake pedal we drilled and reamed the hole
to the correct size, always do this after welding because welding
will distort the metal. We welded a steel bar on the front mounting
bolt and reshaped it so it doubles as a mounting point for the
brake pedal return spring.

Aad had painted the pipes by the way, looks
good I think! The heads of the ugly mounting bolts for the master
cylinder were welded up and reshaped to resemble the dome nuts
on the knucklehead, much better! |
We machined bronze bearings for the brake
pedal and textured it before heat darkening.
All the bare metal parts were covered in Linseed oil to prevent
rust, next week we will rebuild the master cylinder and start
making the brake lines |
