Well, I picked up all my parts from the machine shop that said “I won’t be able to get to your project for 3-4 weeks! ” I went driving around Dixie Hwy. and 44 Street (Fort Lauderdale) area and found a machine shop that is working out much better. I gave them one job of cutting a gear to fit the Shimano hub and it was ready for pick up in two days. So, things should be moving along at a much faster pace now! They need the business and I need parts made in a timely fashion, so it is mutually beneficial.
I am really lucking out with PVC Tees and how inserts and end caps work and work well with perfect fits for my bearings and end caps with holes that are perfect for the top axle! This will save me a ton of money for the casings and also enable me to get the measurements down pat for future mold making out of aluminum. The anodized top case will be sharp looking sitting on top of the dual crown front forks. I am going to match the colors of the top case with that of the 7 speed Shimano front hub! Can’t wait!
