Ron Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Jan is producing exact copies of the rear carriers from the sample I loaned him. An awful lot of work and fixtures made for these as you can imagine and here is the nearly finished result. Jan might step in with interesting pictures of the process. Contact Jan direct or PM me for his details. Ron Edited April 4, 2019 by Ron Finished article picture added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rewdco Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) OK, promised Ron to add some pictures of the process… Here we go: Started by making a detailed drawing of the unfolded part: Transferred all the dimensions to a sheet: The smallest radius was only ½”, so made these with a puller: Added the contours, cut them roughly with an angle grinder: Followed by a shear: Pressed the handgrip with my hydraulic press: Closed the handgrip in the vice: Stretched the inside corners over a stake: Shrunk the outside corners over a stake, bent all the sides and made the two small flanges over a stake: Added the corners: Made the legs with a purpose made press tool, after cutting the blanks (rectangles) with a shear: Assembled everything on a jig and welded the legs to the carrier: After some cleaning: Edited April 13, 2019 by rewdco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welbike Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Very nice work, as usual! in the meantime I have bought this butchered original, maybe Jan has some reject pieces to make this whole again? Cheers, Lex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 I doubt that Jan can do anything with that Lex. Drop it at my place on your next visit and I'll use it as a step up. 😏 Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welbike Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Hahaha! you can use that one made from tin foil, that I dropped off at Jan's place for you!
