Waiting for some parts so I decided to take care of something that really bugged me. I started out with a Worksman frame, who's reputation for solidity seems mostly deserved, but the rear frame dropouts were alarmingly flimsy. I welded on a pair of quarter inch steel plates.

- Thread starter wret
- Start date
Working on the bottom bracket / quill shaft. Here's the parts list:
Shell: 2-1/2" conduit coupler (not shown)
2 x 2-1/2 bushings- As cool as the big nuts look, they will be cut off for clearance.
40mm tube
2 x outer bearings
2 x inner bearings
4 x 16mm shaft collars
1 40mm shaft collar
16mm shaft
some plastic spacers
2 x 40mm sprockets (already tacked)
1 flat washer (already welded to 40mm tube)
some shim material
2 sets of cottered cranks- One will be sacrificed for the sprocket.

Ok so one day a Rep. from Rolls Royce is taking a tour of the Brough Superior shop and sees them wearing white gloves as there mounting newly polished tanks and decides to give them Rolls Royce's endorsement. First and only time they gave an endorsement. ......Maybe you should give them a call.
