From Rust to Rrroaarrr video, part 5
In the first article, I wrote about nickel welding repairs to a broken cast-iron cooling fin (parts from a barbecue hot plate), magneto check, head repair, valve work and nickel plating the push rod cover tubes. The second article was mainly about how I developed nickel and copper plating, with a little bit about kick starter repair using nickel plate on a worn shaft, and grinding teeth. Third article, the start of frame painting; engine, clutch and gearbox assembly and installation, with magneto timing.
In my last article, part four of the series, I described my efforts to rebuild the bike’s dynamo (generator) by reconstructing the disintegrated commutator, rewinding the armature, replacing the bearings and then testing. Sadly, with no success.
I have achieved a little bit of progress with fixing the fuel tank and the seat, but I have not really met any targets. When I started this series, I expected that by this article, part 5, I would be writing about fixing the famous ‘Jampot’ and ‘Teledraulic’ suspensions, and at the end of part 6, I would have re-laced the wheels, having nickel-plated the spokes, rims and hubs ready for a trial ride.
