Correction.....
....Bob wants to use 1/4 inch key stock "held inplace with tape" to have the same spacing as the pass. side....so as to test the fit.....no welding....too damaging/permanent.
I would suggest we fit the door without hinges....using wooden shims as spacers all around..... no hinges at this time..... Weld/rebuild the door wedge see how everything aligns with the same spacing as the pass. side..... then see how the hinges have to fit..... Might want to measure the door opening on the pass side in various corss directions..... and compare to the driver's side...... like wise measure the door.... not being sure how or what was done during the reskinning... There are so many variables....... Boob

Hammond Barn Update - Finally!
It has been a really weird summer - weather wise and barn activity wise. The weather has been very odd. We still have Spring like conditions at the barn. There is no shortage of mud and water in Hammond...The mosquito and black fly forces are not in short supply but for some reason they seem to have learned to swim.
The first part of our "summer" was taken up with the recovery of more than a few CMPs -three HUP frames/cabs and one HUP body for me, Bob and Grant also "scored" some CMP frames of which they will regale the forum with tales of conquest and daring do... Here is a shot of a frame that mysteriously appeared over the past few weeks:   I finally got some time at the barn last weekend. I decided to swap out the front shocks on the 45 HUP. The "new" shocks have a greater curve on the arms and match those seen on other 45s. So, off came the old shocks with relative ease - cue nefarious musical intro... I mounted one of the new shocks and everything went very well until I tried to fit the down links. With the shock arm in the full down position (which is near horizontal) I attached the top of the down link and noticed a small gap at the bottom end (at least one inch).   I will weigh my options, but it looks like I will remount the "old" shocks unless I find a 10 1/4 in down link... In other news: Unfortunately, BB will not happen this year. Given the current economic situation and our less than synchronized schedules, it was felt that we should postpone until things settle down. That being said, we will have a summer Gracies call - more to follow on that.

Some Activity at the Barn
Not too much to report:
Bob is spending the remainder of his vacation splitting wood. Grant is busy with his Mr. Manual duties. Guy was away watching oversized kettles boil. So I had the barn all to my self. After a quick brake bleed, a lube job and oil change, I moved the HUP out of the barn and back into it's shelter - which has dried out somewhat after our prolonged monsoon season here in Ottawa. I posted a poor video on photobucket (http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r...SummerTest.flv). You should notice a squeaking sound when I shift gears - that is the clutch pedal rubbing the foot plate which is just wired into place. As well, there is a grinding noise when I first move her out into the sun - that is the starter shifter knob wobbling around. The starter is causing some issues - if the knob is too far forward, the gears engage. Too far backwards and the grinding occurs. I hope that a thin spacer between the starter housing and the bell housing will fix this annoying problem - any other suggestions?

Nice video......
On the screeching/sparking starter drive......
I would like to compare the linkage to the other HUP hulks you have to see what differences we can observe....... From by brief look at the prototype..... it seems your starter lever to be too far back when disengaged...... ......also to be remembered..... we ran the engine before and did not have that problem........ ...maybe something let go inside the drive mechanism of the starter.... we have other 216 starters to compare with....... it seems to me that the starter drive has a coil spring that holds the gear retracted..... the spring tension is overcome by the lever pulling and the starter torque when power is applied........ but that spring may have let go.... and allows the gear to be easily nudged forward grinding on the flywheel.... I am almost sure we need to pull the starter to check it out.... ....will do a two some..... I need to pull mine to install the new brushes and the new top mounted switch...... also have a new fork to install as the one presently on has flat spots on the swivel pins..... Will get it sorted you...... Boob
