Making it go

It's finally time for bolting things together for real, after several nights in the garage with bondo and sandpaper. I managed to use an evening in the garage again, and some pieces are coming together. I bolted the pan and bodyshell with all bolts, and it was a tricky task to make it all line up again. A pain in the ass to be modest. Then I installed the pedalcluster and mounted new wires and greased them up good. The shifter was mounted and adjusted, and felt right at home in the "climber". The next on the list was the main seal of the gearbox, and a new Sachs release bearing found it's way in. Removing the old stone hard seal was not as easy as expected. But it came loose without damage to the box =) Most of these functional parts are sourced through Wolfsburg West, and I must say they seem to be VERY good. Everything is "Made in Germany" and the quality feel is a lot different than Mexico and Brazil parts. Rounded off the night with installing new axelboots, also german with superb quality. Next things to do is bolt up rest of the chassie and get the last brakeparts to blasting and machining. The summer is coming way to fast....
