G'day MF,
thanks for showing me the various uses for locking wire. Is there a special place to get the wire?
It looks like a bit of an art form.
It's available from industrial suppliers like Blackwoods, bearing supplies joints, aviation trade suppliers etc.
My motorbike mech always has it on hand, as he does occasional racebike work; so I just 'put the bite' on him for a few metres when I run short - that lasts me for years.
Could you show how you used it on your Masport when you explain the drilling?
Not much to see there, move right along!
On a more serious note though, it's just a matter of drilling a through hole, through the centre of the axle's end, at an appropriate distance from the outer end.
The 'tricky holes' are those that have to be drilled tangentially, as in the antenna example.
Regards FoMoCo's cab chassis the regular styled rear tray was under the same chassis as the one tonner tray back? It appears that way from observing.
Just so.
The cab chassis design is both stronger, and more flexible in terms of bodywork options, than the monocoque one.
