And, would you consider your method to be successful? Because, from
here, it seems not to be so much.


actually...once I made a new part, to replace the one I broke out of
stupidity and a brain fart..the descaling went right along just hunky
dory. I planed the hot rolled scale off the pieces, flattening them
and squaring them up. I only now have to cut the 45" angle on the ends
of the fingers.


Excellent. Now you've got me wanting a shaper and/or a brake. Hm.
Anyone got plans for a home-made brake that doesn't suck?

Want a picture of the new crank assembly I made? I took one for my
records. How often can you say you manufactured something out of
hydroflorinated silly putty?


I'd love to see that. If you don't have webspace I can put 'em up for
you (standing offer to the group). My email is real.

Gunner, who will be pulling his transmission tomorrow to install a new
throwout bearing and slave cylinder..****ing Ford engineers.....


I like my old Saabs where the slave cyl, at least, is external.
