Last night and tonight, I spent a few hours working on more cleaning and polishing parts. I know, stop me when it sounds familiar....The following pictures are from last night's work, I didn't bother taking pictures tonight. Simple reason, most of what I did tonight was polishing screw heads, but also the knuckle link pieces, and it wasn't really anything too exciting without being able to show them assembled into something. But I'll take more soon. One of my friends knows some places that will do small lot chrome plating, which means that if I can do it reasonably inexpensively, I'm going to send out the chrome plated parts to be completely blasted down and re-chromed like the day they were made. The more I think about that prospect, the more stuff I can imagine getting done, including parts from the Elco, Renulife, both HB's, and possibly more. I'm a bit disappointed that the wire I want to use for the Devil's HB is out of stock until dangerously close to the deadline I need to have this back in action. So it may end up being something boring like it came with, but hopefully I can get what I want in time. Anyways, here's the recap of last night in pictures.
The motor speed control contacts:
The knuckle link (this was only washed in these photos the final polishing was done tonight and not pictured yet):
The pivot pin and bushing (same story as the link above):
And the business end of the mechanism:
Just because it looks so good, I put a few pieces together after spending another hour or two working on the polishing on the housing itself:
