Hi All
I’ve acquired a bowed axle and am now thinking about dropping the radius arms. Chris Gould shows a good diagram in his book on reproduction Ulster’s but the plate thickness (1/4”) seems a bit heavy to me.
Particularly as I intend incorporating shackle immobilising in the same plate.
Is 1/4” plate normally used and how do you prevent this plate and the radius arms from rotating about the axle. Is it down to friction alone?
Cheers
Howard
