Coming together nicely Dave

I’ve never seen a jig for bikes before, it looks a useful piece of kit.

Nice work Dave. Keep battling on.

Thanks lads

Unfortunately, I have discovered that I had assembled the front forks wrongly and they would not fit to the frame correctly.

To correct the problem, I had to rip the headlamp assembly apart:

I reassembled and repainted the headlamp assembly and removed the paint from the forks and brake drum as they had suffered a lot of damage during the fixing of the problem:

Forks have been repainted:

They were then glued to the headlamp assembly:

The front wheel was fitted to the forks along with the mudguards. I also glued the Front Roll Bar to the frame:

That is all for now

For some reason your pictures are not showing Dave so I am commenting without viewing them. Thats a real shame about the front forks. From your description I am assuming that things turned out well after the corrective work. Well done on that.

Thanks Steve.

I had uploaded images that hadn't been reduced in size so that may explain why you couldn't see them. I have resized them to 1000x750 so you should see them now.

Nice fix on the forks Dave.

 

[papa 695]

Yes a great fix with the forks Dave.

Glad you were able to fix the error. Looking at the photos it looks like a very neat fix.
