To be added
Front Brake Caliper mount and Mudguard brace.
At this stage just a sheet of 6mm metal.
Before I can start on mount bracket.
I need to get everything to sit as it is supposed to and importantly clear of any obstructions.
It is a very slow job, made even slower by my lack of mobility.
Have pulled down my tub of sheet metal hole cutters.
After careful measuring, a hammer and a punch tells me were the drill bit needs to sit.
And I start the long process
of boring the hole. using plenty of cutting oil.
Large hole to slide over front wheel bolt spacer.
Have cut n drilled the left edge to fit the Honda Big One CB1000 Caliper, that I will be using.
Time to test fit, to make sure thing fit were they are supposed to do.
CBRTIM's Hydrolic Jack gets some use ,whilst it awaits it's new home being built.
Gently moving the Girders a little wider so I can install the front wheel
and to allow me to slide on the brake caliper mount/ Mudguard mount Bracket.
Still a fair bit of work to do
Not how I want it too look yet!
And its all in place, So I remove the wooden wedge
Time to start to line everything up so it all fits n work like it should
Suitable Caliper mount bolts sourced from my SS bolts, Washers n Nut TUBS.
This is what happens when your mind wanders at an important point and you do not pick it up till its too late !!
This mount plate is now scrap!
Ok I can get the caliper mount and wheel spacer bolt holes from it, but it's not deep enough for mudguard mounts.
And I want it all in one piece.
