Thread: 51 MG restoration.

Tom beat me to it again. I was going to mention a drop-down in that linkage to give ya more throw and leverage.
It's looking good Mike. All the little details just take longer. You will get it running in no time.

I mentioned an old tire iron as they are 'hockey-stick' shaped.
Lean and mean and some thick flat bar will weld-on stiff....
I suppose not to overdo it? Any bushings going-on?

Also, as this is a Canadian rebuild, shouldn't it have at least something hockey stick shaped?

Wasnt enough meat for bushings as the holes are 1/4” and the shaft 7/16. I did use washers and solid shank bolts to provide some strength, and less surface friction.
Hockey stick shaped,,, funny..

What?... Everybody in Canada plays hockey don't they?

I've never tried it but it would be my dream job to drive a zombonie.

I can't imamgine many people wanting to drive round and round on cold ice so maybe I should apply.

Well supposedly that's what Americans are supposed to think, that all Canadians play hockey, but I never heard that. I heard someone say that we think that but I never thought it.

I have always wanted to ride the Zamboni though

What is way more fun than hockey and Zamboni is the annual polar bear hunt in Toronto.

Hockey, Zambonis, Polar bears, You guys can keep all that cold stuff. I'd rather have sunshine. Where the convertable car talk! That's like a warm subject. We got hammered with snow last night. Enough snow!

Well of course you know I vote for the hockey stick but I'm sure you'll get it right Mike.

Let's see some more of your progress!
