Spent a day adding oilite bushes to the clutch assembly - pics to follow. Looks good to my eye Smiley

So, been planning the new forks and rocker for the leading links. Forks will be 44.45 mm CDs, 4.44mm wall. Rocker and bale will be rectangular section 60x40 mm 3mm wall. Rocker will articulate onto the forks using 25mm id brass bushes inside a crush tube in the rocker. Wheel bolt will pass through the centre of the rocker inside a crush tube. Callipers will be free floating and tied back to the forks. Does anyone have good or bad things to help me with that idea before I go ahead and spend me dosh ?

Here it is. If I can sort out the electroplating it should look ok.

Not sure yet. Either:

Weld on some part arcs to follow the curve, that can then be plated in with the rest

or

Put on cylindrical rubber bands, old pushbike bike inner tube stretched over in rings was a thought

or

Try to make some rings out of silicon rubber plate.

All ideas welcomed!
