I've been busy working on the WLA every night the past 3 weeks. The M88 Linkert Carburetor is detailed, rebuilt with military air horn installed(see header photo). The cylinders have been bored .030 oversize for "nos" Harley pistons. The generator is rebuilt, front and rear brakes, oil pump and scavenger pump installed. This is a shitload of work and time. Bead blasting, cleaning, measuring, fitting, cleaning again, re-measuring . . . very tedious work. But, it will hopefully be the most bitchin' military on the block. Have a nice weekend ! (PS. I'm taking a break from motorcycles and paintin' the kitchen)
Cool. That's a lot of work...I can't wait to see her!

ReplyDeleteJust been reviewing your blog. You do a lot of nice work. The 45 project is looking really good.
ReplyDeleteI sort of have a fetish myself, for 45's and ironheads. I need to finish my Sporty and then get my 45 together one day.
