Re: Links for Brit Manuals and other info

I've worked on that darned Trumpet more than my own bike. I told him years ago to buy rebuild kits for the carbs. He had it stored for years and pulled it out last summer. He told me that one of the carbs wasn't even getting fuel. Been running on one cylinder all that time. I told him I didn't want ...

Re: Indian Mark's 1911 build

I buddy of mine bought an ol' WWII shaper for cheap some years back. I told him he would never find a use for it. Some of the EDM work you did would have been perfect for the planer/shaper. I must also agree...Those old guys and their old ways created some amasing designs that have yet to be improve...

Re: Deburring????

Norton makes a fine sanding disk in various sizes for dremels or bench grinders. It is similar to a tightly packed scotch-brite wheel. I use a 40 grit to deburr steel and 90 grit for aluminum. The 90 would be great for that piece.

Re: Cutting oils

I've always used Cool Tool 2 for taping and soluble oil for everything else on a manual. My CNC's have always used synthetic and flood coolant. 20yrs ago I met a guy who worked at the UofA. They had mounted a load cell to a chuck and used a 1/2" drill in a lathe. They tested the load to drill a...

Need chrome & Anodize

I've exhausted local resources. They are all too busy to take on new work. Does anyone know a chrome plating shop and an anodizing shop that I can contact? I don't want to go to the left coast, but I may have to. Thanx.

Re: Rocker re-design for long chop

That sounds like a fair question. The frame does look like it's high in the front as though the front end is simply too long. That would explain the trail and rocker angle.
