Re: 1967 Family Patrol Project
I popped by on my way out of town today and took a look... and in my rush, no pics! Sorry! He inserted 120 thousandths worth of shims on either side of the carrier to replace the thickness of the offset on the original bearing. To him, it was no biggie. Just part of the set up.

Re: 1967 Family Patrol Project
Awesome progress John....
Love the lift (I'm still shopping for one for my recently converted tin shed workshop)
Axle rebuilds make me cringe- there is no more easy way to get covered in sticky, disgusting grease... yuck.
Also- you are only 2 pages away from hitting 100 on your family Patrol thread.. How awesome is that ?!?

Two ways to look at that... 1) Excited that I still have interest in the Patrol and 2) Sad realizing how much work is left!moore_rb wrote: Also- you are only 2 pages away from hitting 100 on your family Patrol thread.. How awesome is that ?!?

Re: 1967 Family Patrol Project
If it makes you feel any better (or worse?) I had changed the posts per page setting from 20 to 10 a couple months ago for performance reasons. So you used to only have half as many pages.faux40 wrote:Two ways to look at that... 1) Excited that I still have interest in the Patrol and 2) Sad realizing how much work is left!moore_rb wrote: Also- you are only 2 pages away from hitting 100 on your family Patrol thread..

Re: 1967 Family Patrol Project
Just a quick update -- I dropped off THREE, yes three, disk brake rotors at a local machine shop (American River Machine in Auburn, CA) to have the centers opened up to fit the hub. Should be ready by Monday.
Why three? I have two brand new rotors and one that has seen some weather so it's rusty. This way I can use the rusty one as an R&D prototype without worry (e.g. I can clamp to it, drill it, whatever knowing that I it's just for R&D.
Anyway, happy Thursday!
