[Spridgets] Project update 3

[Weslake1330]

Today I drilled the roll bar hole for the B and C pairs of blocks and then
reamed all 3 sets.  I was disappointed with how the reaming went until the
3rd set of blocks where I found turning the reamer anti-clock wise a lot,
helped it.

I have the A and B set of blocks on the car with anti-tramp (swap) clamped
between them and the bar is tight.  In fact it's tighter than I would like
which might be a slight mis-alignment between the blocks, the paint on the
bar, or lack of grease.  However, tight is ok because the old blocks were
loose.  I'll have a look at things mid-week and maybe try combinations of
A+C and B+C to see if it makes any difference.

The delay is because I need to drill a hole and tap a 1/4 UNF thread for
the grease nipple.  I know you guys call them Zerks but I think nipple is a
more interesting word to use.  The actual delay though is that I don't have
a 1/4 UNF tap so have had to order one from eBay.

The new Koni shock-absorbers (dampers) arrived today but without the extra
bushes specific to my Frontline installation so I have a delay on getting
those fitted.

I am thinking about the next project which is to make some new bottom
brackets for the frontline kit using thick-wall tube rather than solid
bar.  I also then need to decide if the fastening fixing will be metric or
imperial (the top is already metric).

Regards


Daniel
