Welding and Machining
I sanded the guide plates to an angle so they matched the pushrods.
More on this later.

|
I machined two of my old lug nuts and then
welded them together. You'll see these later as well.
|
|
I welded a 8-32 bolt at this spot and it will pass through another piece
so this shifter fork won't spin.
|
|
That small hole in the door latch is where the 8-32 bolt will pass
through and be held together with that small nut. The other part is from a motorcycle.
|
|
The three black pieces are lock-nuts (poly locks) made for keeping
roller rockers from coming loose. I'll be using them on top of the three
rocker arms that I welded together. To keep the lock-nuts in place I'm
cutting the threads off some 7/16 bolts and those thin nuts
at the other end.
|
|
This small chain came out a motorcycle but the bolts are something I
had. I machined a step at the end of the bolts so they would locate in
that weird motorcycle piece with two holes. The cutoff ends of the bolts won't be used.
|
|
Here's what I came up with for the chain and bolts.
|
|
I cut the head of this stripper bolt and shortened the threads for that
wing-nut.
