Not much to show today. My FWF parts were supposed to be delivered today, but I missed the UPS truck, so now I have to wait until Monday. There are just a handful of things left to do on the gear and wheels before they are ready to be assembled. Once I get the new primer this coming week, I'll spray the parts and do final assembly.
It's hard to show in a picture until the parts get bolted together, but the inside bracket that the main gear wheel fairing attaches to needs spacers to hold it away from the brake disc. It's kind of pathetic how long it takes to make simple spacers, especially when they all need to be the exact same length.
The last thing the main wheels need is for the axle to be drilled to accept a cotter pin for the axle nut. The nut is already drilled with holes in each face, but the axle does not have matching holes. I put the inside and outside axle spacers on and tightened down the nut (just hand tight - it is only there to take side to side movement away and isn't supposed to get torqued down). I spot drilled one hole then took the nut off and ground away the threads with a small round ball bit in the Dremel. Hitting the threads with the Dremel made it much easier to center the drill vs trying to get it started on threads. Once I had the first hole drilled, I put the nut back on and pinned it in place with a drill bit in the first hole. Then I did the same process to get the opposing hole drilled.
