Wrenching Weekend

[trainrech]

Just a note - I'll have some basics for tools and should have most of what we need to fabricate, but nevertheless, bring what tools you can to handle your projects.

Does anyone have a brass drift, bearing race driver, and the 54mm hub socket (or whatever size it is)?

If not, I'll have to find those items before heading down.

I got a hub socket and we can work around the drift requirement.

Shoot, I'm at the shop now. I have a drift at home, so that is an option if we decide we need one.

Many Thanks! I felt much safer driving home last night with the repair to the spring hanger. Especially to Rob, Chris and Eric for their expert help. As usual for a 30 year old vehicle, I go in to fix one problem, and the cruiserheads find two more for me to work on. We discovered a major oil leak - most likely coming from the oil pan, and one of my knuckles is "barfing" grease. No doubt my axle rebuild of two years ago is suspect.
While there are several who are even now still wrenching the weekend, I wanted to make sure that all knew I appreciated their welding and cutting expertise. cv

What? No live updates? Where's the webcam?

I snapped a few - maybe in the next newsletter.

We had a good weekend. Quite a few projects were either completed, or at least started. We were at the shop until 11:30 or so while Andrew finished up his front axle rebuild. Sunday we didn't get a very early start, and cleaned up around 4:00 or so.

Thanks to everyone for coming over. Hope you had a good time.
