Bearing Retainers Done
Bearing Retainers Done
Correction: that was not Sam and Jake in that pic, it was me
and Jake. The fuzz was either due to a fly issue (fly veil) or maybe I looked
fuzzy because I was stoned. Sam still has hair issues, regardless.
My secretary (she’ll give me hell for that) found some pics
of the first pedalcar and these are those:
Sarah’s keeping notes.
Mick the he-man. I think that’s Mr. Natural on the T-shirt.
They were my motorcycle jeans, never washed. They could stand up on their own. I love aluminium.
As for progress, finally found something to make the last
two bearing retainers out of. An old motorcycle wheel someone unknown had given
me 25-odd years ago. One thing I’m enjoying about this project is that a lot of
the crap I’ve held on to for the last X years is coming in handy. Here’s the
wheel in question –
And here’s the hub stripped for action –
And here’s the resulting bearing housings –
It's good to use up old junk. I'm currently selling off the stuff I was going to use in my Single Spinner Ford project.
