Rear Brake


The cabling was changeling. There are plenty of diagrams but all are a bit confusing to me.   this section shows the rear brake cable. First I had to rig up a rear brake light switch.
                                         

Hold in place with the leg shields in place to check clearance.



A couple of decant jubilee clips around the bracket to secure.


On with the brake peddle return spring.


Washer Cir clip and grease nipple.



Fit the feral then slip in to the frame bracket.



Then thread the inner cable through the feral into the front clamp and tighten.



Connect the inner cable to the rear clamp and tighten. 




Adjust cable tension until the rear brake shoes are nearly rubbing the drum.



Brake pedal sitting up right and operates the brake light switch as soon as the pedal is depressed.

Legies

Below are the legshields as they were when I picked them up. Some deep pitting and many dents.
















First I need to knock all the dents out and weld up the splits.



















After all the bashing and welding one coat of Acid etch primer and then some yellow spray filler. Each time i sand down this highlights the areas that need some attention.

Starting to take shape.

The original colour of the scooter was Beige. So on went the first coat.












In side
















After the four coats of Beige I applied four coats of clear lacquer.













Considering I have used the spray can option all the panel's seem to match.




















































































































































































































































No more?
