Assembly begins...

Now the fun bit.....a sunny day, kids with the Grandparents. Time to rebuild.

Fork progress

Take a look at the pictures. I have replaced the lower seals with a pair of thick o-rings. The bodgesd conduit has been replaced by a split bush made fromo stainless steel. The conical end seats in the cast mobylette screw on bushes. This allows me to adjust the tightness of the bushes around the fork shaft.

Up and down..Not side to side!

Here everyone gets down to painting. Before long the bike has doubled in weight due to the sheer thickness of coats. After about ten minutes bordem sets in with the smaller helpers. HB asked if we could just dip it into a large tank of paint.
