I don't have the time to remove the crank and have it machined for a factory bushing so this is the only way I can go for now. The 455 will be done right with a bushing.
Here is the adapter bearing. Thanks for taking interest in my project. Its nothing compared to a lot of builds around here but its being done on a very limited budget on what little night time and weekend time I can find.   |
Very nice! I was going to mention the "adapter" bearing, but wasn't sure if you were already using one.
Very nice project! I finally started working on mine again... maybe I'll even finish it while I am young enough to drive it! =-)
Shiny Side Up!
