Fat Chance 1992 Yo Eddy Rebuild
- Thread starter WD Pro
- Start date
Hhhhmmm, not got my hands dirty much lately, unless you count cutting a cord and subsequent related decorating ... ;-)
Collected a few more bits though
This lot will be mated with some new bits to make a nice ringle / DKG clamp assembly :
Some NOS loveliness :
Does anyone need any fat chance brakes disks laser cut in stainless ?
I transferred them to CAD and have had some cut as a favour for an American fat owner - PM me with any interest ;-)
With regards to :
Damn you guys ...
Will this keep you happy ...

THE ARS":2qirlxrf said:yo-eddy":2qirlxrf said:Sadly I don't. Love the work you're doing on the frame but that fork is too flexy to match the Yo's ride. Next to that I won't trust a (Chinese?) ti fork with that weight to work with a added disc tab. Just saying
Keep up the good work
Yup. I'll give you my 200% money back guarantee that POS folds up like a lawn chair.
Good luck with your facial reconstruction
Damn you guys ...

I got an original fork patent decal :
Edges tidied a little :
I am seeing if VeloCals will do me a colour coded set for under the clear coat
The matching fork mount turned up (stainless to match the rear ) :
These are the new cable stops, the closest matching style I could find :
The weld tabs still needed to go though :
Clockwise - machined off tabs, original triple, edges hand finished :
Brake delivery number one :
With NOS disks :
Hub and brake delivery number two :
Amongst other things, new bearings will be fitted throughout :
The disk showed some signs of corrosion, a bit strange really as I thought they were stainless ? :
A oxalic acid bath, a seeing to with the dremel, a flatting off and a good scrub later :
Not perfect, but pretty good :
Rubber cable seals seem to be in short supply for these callipers, the entry ones are good but the only exit one I have is a little torn :-( :
Once clean, the best way I have found to restore rubber is to paint it in gold class and seal it up until needed. The gold class is really penetrating stuff and after a long term soaking, when the excess is wiped off they will stay new looking :
Just for a laugh and whilst I am on the fat theme, I post a lot of envelopes through eBay and thought it would be good to invest in a stamp - when I spotted you could upload a logo the choice was easy ...
Even the ink is purple ... ;-)
