I even fitted the CV/CC board into a bit of box and removed the trimmers and added some 100K 10 turn pots, makes adjustment much easier than trying to mess around with a screwdriverReally? We hadn't noticed....
Obviously I then had to try it out

Today this turned up, courtesy of RH Nuttall.
I turned half of it into these, well the left hand ones anyway.
The first eared one took forever to make. Probably two hours. The second about 20 minutes since I then had a pattern. The circular one was 5 minutes. I'm so pleased I bought a linisher with sanding disc.
I also finished the repair to the C spanner which some gorilla had managed to snap. Hardened steel as well.
It used up some rusty old thick wall tubing that was in the garden and a little stub of 20mm stud from the scrap box. It should look quite tasty when it's blued.

^^^ Mind you that beats climbing around boats, up, down ladders, climbing around slipways, in and out of engine rooms. I can a only see pluses. I have been doing some hydraulic work on a boat lately (in around the rain we have had, about 500mm in three weeks) and can definitely say I'm over it. Haven't done much off that stuff for a few years and the owners got me in a moment of weakness and I said yes. Well back sore, arms sore legs aching, what doesn't hurt. I still have about 10 days to go to finish (will post some pics) not to mention every thing is covered in hydraulic oil and slippery. I felt chuffed to be asked though, which is why I probably said yes in the first place

I have had to give up a lot of work, knees just too knackered now for crawling into boats bilges etc. Not that I miss a lot of it, certainly not anything hydraulic oil related, it is the most horrible stuff out.

Tell me about it...
As you said working on hydraulic drives are the worst, I charge extra, or avoid.
Can’t make out the tool?Made these (one spare):

So I could mount this:

Hydraulics are great when they work, a royal PITA, when they go wrong.

That brings back memories of the metalwork class at school back in the 60s
Chester 626 riser block complete.
Two coats of primer and two top coat.
Brought into the house to harden off for a couple of days.
I am going to try and make a longer leadscrew for the knee riser to compensate for the extra height. Does anyone know what acme thread it is? @doubleboost ?
