Let me weld em together first!

very retro looks like a proper 70's machine for sure.

played around with the valve covers tonight

Looks pretty good there 450.

First of all, can anyone get me the outside diameter of a 24" s-5 hoop? Also the o.d. of a 24" s-2?

I want to mount these brakes with the capability to run any of the three (s-2, s-7, or s-2) whhels in 24".

I went to the lbs for brake bosses and they sold me a bag of goodies for $12. 2 different routes to go.

With these steel weld on bosses I got 3 of 1 style and one of a different style. Unfortuneately the oddball is the only one that works.

The one with three holes works (1 of) the other with one hole doesn't (3 of).



I can grind the essential shaft off all four and build my own sheet metal mounting 'ears' and weld the shaft to it or...



I have these which require a tap I don't have (I'm sure they are available) and a counter bored hole.

I figure either way is about the same amount of work but I think I can get better results with sheet metal.

Another peek with the narrowed bars. They still need one more small touch.

I actually got to do something Saturday, I did not like the cable setup on the DANA at all!! so I stated to tinker and came up with this[url][/url]First gear...[url][/url]second gear....[url][/url] third gear , which is a little tight on the down tube, so a little torch and bend is in the future....and I picked up this unknown springer missing a couple pieces mainly the top sping cap/connector[url][/url] and no its not bent ...just wierd it was a locking one at one time also...but I have plans

That's a Columbia springer fork.

Those Dyna gearboxes are sweet. I need one of those.

[450redrider]

I like both of your guys set-ups now I'm starting to think I need to put a stick shifter on mine

[karfer67]

come on what self respecting musclecar ran a slush box it had better have a stick shifter of some kind

[ej599]

I hacked up the tin bosses so I was left with a small flat piece of 16 gauge with the boss shaft still attached.

I'm gonna make them all with 3 spring fixing holes so I made a template.



I made a little fixture to hold them in the mockup.





I'll make up a couple gussets like this.

[ej599]

I tacked on the front bosses, put the lever arms on and

FAIL!



Minor adjustment.



guess i'll have to live with it......

[karfer67]

i dig how you shaped the bosses.

Still working on stripping the old paint off, not too much progress as I am working on changing the springer design around a little bit, and making a plate to connect the top two bars for mounting a........... to be continued

[ej599]

Back brakes are welded on and the shifter knob is almost done. She'll soon be ready for a quick sandblast and paint!

[450redrider]

Played around a little bit and got a shifter on it that I scored from my LBS for $20 its off of a ten speed but now the right stick is my shifter and the left is my brake

[ej599]

A jockey brake! Cool.
