It's been a long time since anything happened here. But as I am on vacation finally I have some time to concentrate on the Laubfrosch again.
So I first went with the fabrication of the axle and bushes for the front wheel. The DR's hub fits pretty well, but is 2mm less wide and only has a 12mm axle, instead of 9/16". So that's too thin for the Bullet's clamps. So I turned two bushes from Aluminium, allso providing the needed distance on the inner face. First reamed the bore to 12mm:
The outside is turned to 14,3mm (9/16"):
Finally slotted it using a hand saw, so the axle, simply a piece of 12mm 1.4301 round stock, can be clamped:
Thas looks pretty much like this:
I mocked up the Engine a bit more as well. Apart from the slender primary case, there's a nother fine detail that found it's way there. Can you find it?
And as the mail man brought some pieces of stainless tubing, I could start to try a little on the exhaust. I like how it turned out. Fit neat an tight, but has enough clearence to the carburettor and especially: The pushrod cover! I wouldn't want to block this by any means, because easy maintenance is a must!
I'm still a bit worried about the muffler though, because I don't need a fried leg! Well, it will get a shied anyway, maybe that's good enough.
So long,
Andreas
