Love seeing some Yeller Gold updates!

Sorted the rear caliper mount measurements out today, brain was fighting me until I slipped the washers in to get the clear picture.

Need to take a mm off where the ears sit, dad has a 90* adapter for the lathe carriage and an end mill, should be ok or such a light cut. Or my friend has access to a milling machine.

 

[Ol Yeller]

The lathe adapter was some old janky home-brew deal, but got close…some more attention and they will be

I've got one of those for my old Craftsman lathe, but never used it. It will get the job done.

I fish, but not to catch anything (i use a bobber) i just do it to relax. Sit in a chair on dock and throw it in. If i catch something i catch something.View attachment 3573779View attachment 3573780View attachment 3573782View attachment 3573783

That view does not suck!

Watch out for those snapping turtles...

I didn't know you could balance the entire front housing on a 5 gallon bucket! It makes sense...

Rear brakes together, everything fits.

Next is sorting hoses and lines. I have no idea where to get custom hoses these days, been literally 25 years since I had any made.

Fedhill is great! Great customer service as well!

Test fit a rim just to be on the rear brakes, lots of room.

Enjoying the final prep and assembly, therapy really.

Yeah good stuff but shop around for "3/16 Inch Ni/Copp Nickel/Copper Brake Line" and pay 1/2 of the web site you linked.


Try This..

Jeeze I went looking ‘cause it seemed just a few weeks ago…time flies!
Interestingly a 510 club friend just sent me the exact same link at dinner, great minds…

Also found these guys next door in Alberta, seem to offer what I’m looking for on hoses.

Rear axle is “in” with the spring hangers/shackles all torqued. I found the lower plates that need cleaning and straightening so not tightening U bolts just yet, realized I will need to re-drill the centre hole to match the offset axle pads.
Did also find the front 55 plates ones that appear will work with the 62 front housing? (Hopefully)

Parts trickling in

Great progress. An inspiration to get into the shop.

Got over to dads shop tonight and when I was opening up the blast cabinet I noticed the blanket he covers it had a hole chewed in it, also some mouse crap , then I look in the gloves and they are full of nest/shyt…so next I flip the light on in the cabinet and 4 of fuxxers are looking at me

Managed to catch and dispatch one but the other three scurried off. So dad is buying some traps tomorrow.

Anyways the blaster blasted and I’m happy with results. Got a couple min visit in too

I had a bird's nest in one of my blaster gloves, had to wait for the babies to fledge before using it.
