We bored a hole in the shift rocker arm, then turned a sleeve to fit it and accept the spherical bearing.
We're going to make a cap, with reinforcing ribs, for each side of the shift rocker arm. One side will be welded on, the other will bolt on, for bearing removal/replacement.
I figured out the location then had one of the guys cut the selector arm mount. He's probably the least experienced on the Team, just learning to work with tools, but he's also one of the most consistent, dedicated...
Here he has cleaned that mount up a little, and hammered it to shape. We also made the scrolled pieces for the clevis mount on the end of it.
And, we're starting to form the top and bottom plates of the I-beam mount.
The rear crossmember is coming along...
... and the front.
I trimmed the seat shells. They're going to get rolled beads around the perimeter, and lots of detail.
