Barry Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Some MC115 wheels painted white and fitted Making the front linkage, pen nib Cut down Start of the front linkage After making the first front linkage (the one on the right moves up and down) the client wanted front weights and said he didn't mind if the front linkage was stationary, so i mad another as it would be more solid and had a bigger hole for the link arm to fit in Made the weights more like the real thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britainswomble Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hi Barry, jus' 'avin a look through and stumbled across this.......... what a stunning piece of work you've done there. I've seen quite a few conversions on here, and this must be one of the best and most comprehensive I've seen so far. Congratulations on your excellent work. You may not know too much about the mechanics of old Albions, but I suppose you can't be clever at everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
