Sitrep. Been ill with the coughing bug and too cold in garage so little progress. However 4 axle eye faces ground flat and at 90 degrees to pin and 4 stub axle eye faces done too. Done using cylinder with pilot through it and valve grinding paste on end with pilot in electric drill chuck.
Hardened steel thrusts obtained (ex Morris).....these had to be reduced in diameter to fit in axle recess. Done by clamping two at a time on a 5/8th bolt and small bolt down through middle held in drill. Bench grinder rotating and drill rotating in opposite direction. Very gently ground and highly skilled handsome face watching!
Washer of correct dia. clamped next to two being ground to show when correct dia. reached.
Now need to sort out packing out washers/shims to take up any play.
Hope to eventually put up photos of the two tools and write up process.
