making bushes and widgets for some repro shutters which i traded Martyn Tasker for a few years back have been coming along nicely, there is some modification required but on a whole they work a treat now.
whilst i mention lathework, i have been making shims for the wheels to convert from 40mm ID to 50mm ID bearings.. i had one shim made on CNC (one piece job with shoulders on) however after speaking with a chap who makes wheels etc for British AFV's was advised to go the route you see in the image.... what a laborious job but nevertheless i got there in the end.
base coat has been flying around the workshop and its always nice to get stuff painted up then stored away ready to bolt on

i have been working on the linkages now and was pleased to see that i have the bulk of them in tact (and safe to use) i am missing the cam linkage rods, a brake pedal rod (and park brake rod)
and i need both front to rear hull rods as the ones in there are beyond safe use (the ends are ok though)
