Bodge of the day
 

trying to make spacers for my rear wheel. :rolleyes:

As when l was at the tyre fitters, he notice a big score mark in my swinging arm :o where the nuts of the sprocket had been grinding away the swinging arm :o

It must have been when l had the bearings done, must have lost the spacer on route :rolleyes:
So i thought that l had all the bits, when l put it back together :rolleyes:

Well for a master class in bodging, a guy at the tyre place found a piece of metal in a skip, that had the right size hole, so with the loan of a angle grinder and his vice, l ground it into shape, and l also needed another washer as a packer, they had one but the hole was to small so had to file this by hand to make it fit, but after about a hour of fettling, we had a perfect packing shims, job done :)

Now all l have to do is find someone who can weld alloy, to fill in the score make, as it has gone half way through the alloy :o

By the way l had perelli corsa 3's fitted, l think they should be the business :) Scrubbing in to be continued.;)

Depending how far dow south you are I usually get my Alloy welding done at Specialist welders in Steventon a few miles south of Abingdon

Thanks for that, l will see whats locak first, Worthing area, anyone know someone? :)

I feel l should mention the tyre fitter, that was happy for me to use there tools and facilities for my bodge, they are Russ Tyres, http://www.russtyres.co.uk/ he knows his stuff when it come to tyres and he was the cheapest l could find :cool:
