Magnificent 7

[dartyppyt]

Just finished welding all brake stuff up this am and gave her a polish.
Back brake lever runs on pressed in stainless, sealed bearings.

 

[dartyppyt]

Front number plate all trimmed up and bracket made for the bottom.

Yes Virginia, there is a vented cap mod!

Just tried it on a cheep cap and it works!

 

[dartyppyt]

This gives better idea how new polished brake stay arm is going to look like with hub and Spacely sprocket.

Yeah, like those silver hubs with blue anodizing.

Apache pipe!

Had to put in whole section do to previous owner. Not sure what he was trying to weld this with!

A patchy here, a patchy there.

I gas/steel welded piece in, for strength. Now, I am using brass to fill in, so I can grind, file it, then final sand pipe so you will not know patch is in there.

Long process but it will be worth it, the way I am going to have it finished.

Ah, what's another Husky badge!

is there a secret to getting paint to stick to the braze?

is there a secret to getting paint to stick to the braze?

Use Krud Kutter, the must for rust, and wire wheel. Bondo and paint won't stick to the flux.

Have to get it out of any and all lil pits.

Can also got to auto paint store and get. Metal prep conditioner.

That acid, removes the flux.

Then when done, I will beed blast whole pipe. I know for sure then that no flux is left.

Ever see car bubble along a seem after you did body work on it? That's cause of 3 things.

Water, rust, or brazing flux. Starts eating at your body work from inside out.

[dartyppyt]

Here is cylinder after good bead blasting, polished both sides and etched a husky logo in the polished sides.

Just working on boring, long drawn out stuff! Plus, traveling with work and heavy travel schedule, again this week!

That's the 430 head on there. Suppose to get my one back by next weekend! I saw half of it done and going to look cool!

Got some cool ideas for head and pipe!
