48 Panhead progress

Another day filled with action have passed by. Due to the amount of work, ehrr fun there was no other option, another set of hands where needed. As usual no volunteers, did I say none, its not the trouth. My grandson was more than happy with staying for a couple of days, to help me out, and yes even if still only 6 years old he does indeed help a lot.

When I where to file down the second front frame tube after welding he sat across my upside downed frame for two long hours making it more stable. His only award for this heroic act was getting allowed to perform som stunt welding on a piece of scrap metal. As my frame is now considered done I found next task was to start working with brake pedal and linkages. To get back decent play in the brake pedal both the support plate shaft and the bush in the pedal was replaced, I cant stand a wiggly brake pedal. 1/10 of a mm play is great :-), when greased it feels very direct.

  2. Knuckle Buster, thanks for your comment. Naeh, dont worry, I might complain some, but its OK after all, and as long as there is progress its OK and FUN.
    As long as every linkage and lever is as worn as on this old girl I rather repair. I couldnt stand riding with a brake pedal wich you never know where to find and after all its still mostly original as I only replaced parts of it, agree?

  4. Kawa, I`m trying to save the kid from getting square eyes from watching cartoon network. I had him introduced to welding with the MIG, ha ha he jumped quite a bit first time he sparked life to the welding tourche.
    The Pan project, what can I say. I`m trying to get her sorted, the correct way.
