Powell in need of serious help

[The Airman]

Ah, my apologies Eric. Thanks for squaring me away, and thanks for assisting roc89 in this. He's doing a great job, quickly. Good job all the way around. I should have kept my yap shut, but at least I got to post a photo of my over-restored garage queen. (that was a bit of jocularity)

Keep on kicking butt roc89. Great to have you and that bike here.

I hate to hijack this great, informative Powell thread, but........ I sure would love to see more pictures of your "over-restored garage queen". Do you have a link to a thread of your restore?

I got me motivated on my H model, but then I'm still waiting on more chrome for mine.

Roc89Boy, you are bitten by the Powell bug, for sure. And moving fast !!! Love it.

Thanks airman. I feel that a lot of my motivation has come from OND and Dave's powells. Those two guys are on another level, so if I can even come close I'll be ahead of the game.

Big thanks to T Town, OND, and Dave.

Hey All,

Sorry I have not posted in a while, that four lettered word (WORK). Any how, I have made a little more progress.

The rear wheel half with the sprocket. Ended up drilling out all the holes with a .332 drill bit (#Q) and tapped with a 3/8"-24 tap.

As you can see in the pic, there is still plenty of meat left.

On to the front wheel. Man, it was nasty! Only broke one bolt, but the steel half was toast.:no:

So, anyone got a front steel half for sale??????

 

[roc89boy]

T Town, This is for you buddy. Thanks for all the measurements and pics.

Here's the new shifter


Here's the new motor mount and arms

Did I forget to mention I'm looking for a front wheel steel half?

Thanks to everybody for all the comments and help.

Hey Joe....I know there's a few people on here that have a front wheel half...but I won't mention there names. Start a WTB Powell front wheel in the classifieds on here.

 

[OND]

Parts look great by the way ! :thumbsup:

 

[T-Town Mini]

That's a nice job on the fabricating and machining. Looks like a decent reproduction part. :thumbsup:

What are you going to use for the rubber bushing inserts?

 

[Itype2slo]

I probably have a front wheel whole or half. Will poke through the garage when I gets home.:thumbsup:

 

[roc89boy]

OND- Thanks I'll post if Itype doesn't have anything

Itype2slo- Any help would be greatly appreciated

T Town- I found these on Fleabay Rubber Anti-vibration Spacer 1" OD x 3/8" ID x 1" Thick (Item# X19-13) | eBay

Looks like John has you fixed up....good deal !

 

[roc89boy]

Big thanks goes out to Itype2slo. He was able to part with a front wheel half.

Thanks John

OND- I was on another thread and found you are casting fiberglass powell covers. By chance are you making the B model cover?

 

[OND]

Joe....I might be re-popping a few Powell covers for a handful of members . Still might be a little while yet.

 

[roc89boy]

Just got a part in the mail. Want to thank Itype2slo for helping me out with the front wheel half. It's in great shape! One more piece of the puzzle taken care of.:thumbsup:

:thumbsup: John is a great guy !!!
