Results of The Plan

Gig went well & parties were good. Have to continue my front end.

The Plan

First I cut nylon bar with axle grinder (not best method, I soon noticed...). I burned my hand because of melting nylon. You can see how the bar has been melted in this picture. With cutting tool of lathe or with normal saw, I would have had better results. Bad thing is, that I don´t have any of those, so axle grinder it was...Then I bored bigger hole into nylon bar, because I only have 10mm drill bit and hole needed to be 13mm.

Now it fits.

Then I faced the nylon bar with lathe. Carbide bits make quite good surface even on nylon.

Here is the old one. It does not have any support for springs. This is made with file last summer.

Here is the final piece.

This way it sits at the bottom of the upper spring.

 Why I did not invent this before? I don´t know, but good that I did it now.

This is so great. I have other piece ready as well and front end feels much more stable in every manner now. I am anxious to see how it works when I drive. But I am really far away from that. Hope that I get this bike ready for this summer.

Lots of nylon waste
