You guys all keep me going. Thanks.
We're going to machine new front hubs and spindles. The bearing rep is coming by for a chat. I asked about ceramic bearings so he's bringing a few samples for me to look at. I want to go bigger than the stock tapered bearing but he only has 2" OD, 1" ID standard bearings.
The hard part of this build isn't doing the work, it's making the right desisions.
Every single move I make is based on a decision and I don't know enough to do the right thing so I call in "overkill".
Here, "bare neccessity" seems to be the rule so over the counter "overkill" is in short supply. Everything I need on bearings is ex Germany!!!!.
No wonder the Allies were so hell bent on those bearing factories.
When one starts fooling around with hubs, spindles and bearings you need to have your stuff together and all I have are the materials and machines to work them.
I feel just like my pumpkin friend here!
BTW, Happy Halloween guys. Rats got to my only surviving Jack 'O'.
