The weather service is forecasting very heavy rains for Cape Town this weekend. Which means that I will not be able to do any spray painting (the rear rim is ready for spray painting). But there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. I have the following in mind:
- I would like to fit the rear brake to the frame and then slide in the brake assembly. I have not been able to do this, as the thread of the rear axle sleeve nut that allows one to fasten the brake assembly to the frame was damaged. But Doepie kindly re-threaded the nut and cleaned the damaged thread on the axle sleeve for me (see photo below). I got the parts back this week.
- I also want to start with the rebuilding of the dash panel base - the refurbishment kit has arrived. This will allow me to thread the wires through the correct holes in the dash panel and to connect the wires to the various poles on the switch.
- If I have time, I would also like to attach the rear brake pull switch to the bike and fit the spring and pull fire. Not sure if I will get to this though. Sometimes the silly things takes a long time, as you have to fit, adjust re-fit, re-adjust until the parts fits perfectly.
