Just finished a round of Fibre Glassing, I cant get the resin off my hands, the gloves ripped.
Anyways....
The first thing I made was the engine mount, not going to post picks as it looks real rough.
When I had it tack welded together she was bang on, but then when fully welded it must have warped, it was out by 0.35mm, made the wheel out by about 20mm at the other end garr..., but persistence prevailed 3rd times a charm, cut and re-welded twice. she sits nice now
the second thing on the agenda was the front brakes and forks
This was off a dio ZX, using a pipe cutter I cut 112mm out of the centre of the shaft, spun the shaft around 180 degrees to suit the standard spree/nifty fifty handle bars. should note that I also placed a bar in the middle of the shaft (17.4mm I think), had to go see a friend with a workshop press and pressed it in, also before I pressed in the bar I ground the shaft ends where they were to meet so that there would be little channels for the welds to sink into when they were pressed together.
End result of that
I was contemplating removing the bottom bearing race and placing a pipe around the shaft approx 20mm, then placing the race back on as to lower the shock tree and give better fairing clearance, decided not to though as thought it would raise the ride height too high and I would still need to cut the fairings anyway
More to come soon. going to check my resin
