Very nice

Thanks, sometimes you just have to put in the effort since old parts aren't always available.

Thanks, I know I could have found something that would have worked, but I enjoy making parts. The added bonus is unless someone looks real close these will look OEM.

Made new pins to go with the new linkage. I scrapped 3 drilling the cotter pin hole. The 1.2mm drills are fragile, they worked better when I moved the mill to it's max speed of a little over 2000rpm.

I can appreciate that effort; been there, done that, too many drill bits busted! They look great. You are right; it'll look OEM but you'll have the pride of knowing "I did that." In my book that's worth a bunch.

I'm saving for big parts, tank, rims and spokes, engine rebuild, so to keep moving forward I can do things like this. I picked up an english wheel a while back so maybe next I'll start working on fenders. I have some aluminum that'll work.
