Pre Unit Install

Well I finalized the front end and made new Rockers, they were easy to make and fit awesome. Since nobody seams to make a 1"-14nf
acorn nut I made one from some half round steel ball stock and welded it to my nut, then cut them down to make jamb nuts out of them. My trans mount plates came from England, I'm glad I never tried to make them because they offset the trans a bit and we would be in trouble trying to line up the primary chain. The motor needs much attention, the pistons were stuck in the jugs when I got it, so I soaked them in trans fluid for about 6mos, I broke them loose with a impact hammer and had very little damage. Machine work will be necessary anyway, I mocked the motor up and started in a new list of things to make.

More Springer

I stopped buy Fred's Frames and picked up my new springs. Freddie Hernandez is a legend that never sold out and is the sweetest dude ever. Mock up is almost done as I wait for parts to trickle in. Now that my bearings I ordered finally came I can now set ride height and start welding the tubes up. I took a break from the springer to make the taillight and license plate mount. I had a mirror housing from a Sunbeam Tiger, a park light lens from a 57 Chevy, made a socket can that removes like a cartridge, a plate of scrap aluminum and a red l.e.d. bulb. Cheaper than Ebay.
