I was so happy when I received the tracking update!
Well, this one is like the last ones. Four ball bearings instead of bushings, and a needle bearing in the lever. I don't use pennys anymore! I finally found the perfect washer, cheap, strong, and the right size!
Turning the parts myself on my lathe is so much faster than waking up at 5AM to bring the parts to the machine shop before 7AM and getting them back after a week...
I'm not as good as the machine shop, but I've controled all the parts before assembly
It also motivated me to continue my upgraded shifter...
Doesn't look too good right now, but wait until it's coupled with a gate
