cb750 - $2k custom

[joea]

when using the british throttle assemblies the cables are not anchored into the housing very well so i safetied the wire to the screw ..........and then the mid cable adjuster is safetied just to make sure nothing pulls out as i eliminated the close cable...
looks like a page from an a&p mechanics hand book.
i drill/ safety some items or use aircraft hardware already drilled .........looks good and i keep in practice(was a airline mechanic for 25 years)

The ones I work on, most everything in UNF... Where do you get your parts?

" The ones I work on, most everything in UNF... Where do you get your parts?"
not sure what you mean.
i have a left over hardware from the airlines,i still know guys that own/work on aircraft, wipaire is about 2 minutes from the shop and they help me out with hardware or i buy them from ebay,aircraft spruce,etc...
most of the safetied hardware on the bikes has been hand drilled...
i hope that answers the question g/r........joe@ vcycle

I ment that I work on F18's. Most of the thread pitches are UNF/ Unified Fine Thread. My bike is not any of that.

I was thinking about drilling my new hex bolts to suit.

 

[joea]

most all aircraft from general aviation to military is fine thread......except jackscrews! ha......
airbus spec'd some metric hardware for their components and some is drilled for safety wire but i drill or make lock tabs for the metric hardware i use..
when i use aircraft hardware i drill/ tap to sae or add nuts...joe

needed a clamp and could not find anything that small so i made it out of a sheet of s/s and a 2/56 screw/nut...polished up and mounted...sorry for the lousy photo.

 

[joea]

had to rewire switch since someone cut the harness. also cleaned,removed corrosion from clip etc to make it look new...

[joea]

alum ign bracket - ready for connector-

 

[joea]

mirror done....would have liked the link to be smaller but it was right off a spare rear master cylinder and only had to be counter sunk for the screw....the nut was a small wrenching aircraft nut machined down and pressed into the hole for a lower profile...enough arts and crafts for a while i need to weld up seat/oil tank and get the wiring figured out and harness made.............joe@ vcycle
