moving along
This awesome getting some confirmation of what I have to work with, what it is, and a idea of it's value.
I can see it is something that is worth my efforts, meaning I can possibly get it back, but I have grandchildren that would be pleased to get it later.
Okay, took time, but figured out this new phone and I can only take a set size of photo's, with the smallest setting I can use the crop tool to get them with in the limit range so I can post them, at least most of them.
I have to remove the lamp mounting tab off the torsion tube, used the angle grinder to do the job.
and the left side once removed
still need smooth out that welded area.
But now what do I do, re weld them back in place when the other work is done ?
I found these mounting holes, tapped and ready to be used.
I just happened to have the bolt size I needed, but now I wonder about vibration of rear end effecting the new mount. I measured 7 3/4 inch's needed to extend the lamp out to basic same area, do we think that 1/4 inch steel would be firm at that length, maybe it is 3/16 thick. I guess just try it and see.
Here are the brake parts left from when I corrected them a few years back, at least I thought that is what I was doing.
Now I do not remember where those large washer/spacers went, no paint on them, so I believe they where on the inside of the drum on the spline.
and there is this spacer on the outside along with 4 shim's on each side that are against the bearing.
I do remember the left side had wider brake pad's on it and bad slave cylinder, and it was shimmed up more than the right side. Why only one set of brake shoes in the old parts, kept those that where the same size as the new ones. Shim's, think I split up the thin ones on the axle spline, 4 on each side, because it keeps the drum from pushing all the way in against the bearing, plus it looks like to keep the seal from damage, and than the drum has to align over the brake pads correctly for proper operation. Does any of this look normal or correct ? Out side spacer seems to be taking up open space on the spline keeping the axle nut on the threaded area and inline with carter pin hole.
My tank, it is a temp set up, getting the shut off valve in a few days.
and here is the instrument panel I did
and Belle's new goggles
She was to be my wife's new friend, she is, but she picked me as her buddy. She is always with me, at my feet, or sleeping up against me. Ever fight with a dog for cover's ? Belle watch's me and is always making me take breaks, or even naps if needed. My condition does limit me and I can push myself to far to much, Belle seems to be my care taker these days. Not sure if she will ride on the trike with me, but she loves here goggles.
I found my data from my 1st compression test, so I will check valves clearance, adjust if needed, and than perform another compression test. I need to compare them after I had screwed up the timing with old distributor. Than I will finish dismantling the trailing arm so it can be removed for bushing replacement, oh and get new bearings for each axle.
Everyone have a great day, and thank you for your time DeathbySnuSnu.
