Good Morning.
Today's plan was a relatively easy one.
To install Tim's swing arm into his frame.
Should not be an issue, Maz n me have been discussing it over the last few days.
So lets see what happens...................
P.S.
Not saying it's anyone from here!
But Maz is retired thru ill health and it has been a long hard road for her to come to terms with this and her health.
So please do NOT contact Maz asking for her to take on your job, as the answer will always be the same.
Luckily for me and for CBRtim tribute build, Maz is there for me to resolve issues, and plans ideas I come up with. On an ADVISORY basis only.
Please respect Maz's wishes
Many thanks
This jack actually will live in CBRTim's Tool box, but I spotted it the other day and it's services are needed today.
I wriggle in the jack n start pumping away.
But there is not much room and I just cannot seem to get the jack in the right place.
Nothing else for it, this lower fuel tank has to come back out!
Luckily Michael is just outside, so can give me a hand.
The bungy straps are there, as I do not have the strength to lift or lower teh fuel tank.
After I have undone the rubber tank mount bolts.
Michael wriggles the tank out the way.
and finally out of the rear of Tim.
Bummer !
The previous person who was supposed to be helping me, has welded a bracket just were it is NOT needed and limits were we can put the jack.
The offending bracket.
As I am unable to weld anymore, I am loath to cut it off.
As well as it's been paid for!
Will have a think and a chat, maybe if we can get it of in one piece we can drill n bolt it back in place ??
The swing arm will not slide in as it is designed to, and I have installed the swing arm before Tim went away to have work/welding done...
Altho we using long extension bars, all we can see and here is the would splintering and the jack being pushed out of the frame!!
I think the rear foot board mounts are causing most of the issue,
There may be other issues.
But I am so angry if I could find my lump hammer I would take it out of Tim's frame and he does not deserve that.
So I close the workshop door for the day....
I will look into tomorrow when i have my anger under control hopefully.
Also I need to think hard, have a chat to work things out.
