22nd December 2017 - cbrtim update

Afternoon all.

Today my main focus is on CBRTIM.

Progress is slow at the moment, but I am not fussed about it, as long as I feel calm and am enjoying what I am doing that's all that matters..

 

Back to the right front brake caliper mount,
Its still basically a large rectangle of 6mm steel, with me working on one end,

as still nothing comes to mind for the shape of the plate yet. Both Maz n Me are working on this now  

more double checking and grinding edges away

a little bit at a time 

and slowly but surely

the plate is getting

to were I want it  

But Still not 100% just yet.

Double checking the curves with the original caliper mount.

and made punch holes  

and soon got them drilled out!

OOOPS that middle hole shouldn't be there !  

it should be further round

(Ah well this will now become a template!)

and after dressing the edges

I start to bolt the caliper mount to the plate

not quiet 100% in places

and some areas trimming back

But its looking good so far

I slide the caliper onto the mounts and altho this pin and rubber works as it should,

will need to shave a few mill of so rubber don't touch the caliper mount and possibly tear it it pieces when used.

so for this end  

 have offered the hole lot up,

but it wouldn't go together properly,

so took it all apart and try'd to put it all back together and this hole don't line up : ( 

But I still got the spindle spacer hole to cut yet,

so I am hoping it will then drop down and fit perfectly.

But gotta wait for my xmas pressie from Michael for that to happen
