Not a lot going on today, small bit of tidying up. Tip of the berg.
Waiting for saddle clamp bolt. I turned my attention clamps to mount the Indian tool box.
The gap between the underside of the top tube and the top surface of the gas tank is just slightly greater than .300" = 7.62mm and the of the top tube including paint is 1.010" = 25.65mm. So I bored a bar of 6061T6 aluminum to a I.D. of 1.010" and a O.D. of 1.610.
Parted and faced to a .687" =17.45mm.
Before splitting in two, I will spot drill and tap two 10-32 tapped holes per side. spacing is going to because I want to use counterbored holes in the top side clamp halves yet to be machined. I hate brake outs on counterbores but it does happen when space is limited.
Anyway, todays photo is the bottom clamps being turned and bored in my Logan lathe. Before most of the above is done I will turn the piece around and turn the section to clamp the tool box tabs. Dimensions to be developed.
