Telling me I got to beware
It's time to stop messing around
And get this build shifting up a gear.....
I'm still finding other things to do...
Someone gimme a slap....I need a gear shifter

Oh dear..... Anything not to make the shifter...
Found a better donor derailleur for the crack pipe tensioner...better spring....better chromed bolt and a much better back plate dooferette...
All a different stack height/length so just a simple mill off the back of the bowl..
And recut the inside of the bowl...!! Jeez...
And more fiddlin of faffy holes ...!!
And now....
The bugger binds up! Oh why did I do that....
I thinks the spring is dodging down that rebated hole...and locking up on the bolt.....s'pose I gotta make a nylon bushing now!
Fun....it never ends....
I need...
Beer.

Up early in the workshop this morning and not prepared to be beaten by this tensioner
Problem resolved....after trying 3 different springs in all four of those little adjustment holes ...that's 24 different permutations ! Sorted....
I'd been faffing with the wrong spring
It lands exactly where I need it...now to get the whizzy whizzy dizzy wheel on
How am I gonna attach it?
Dunno yet....but it's beer time...inspiration will undoubtedly follow

I'm so dizzy my jockey wheel is spinning....
Another load of old crank...you'll do...let's smash you around a bit..
Some cunning holes,spot faced and roughly shaped...
Took 2 attempts....some klutz forgot to make a note of the angle didn't he! Sack him I say ...
And just like that my whizzy whizzy dizzy wheel understands chainline....well done....
Time to trim the arm and give it a right good buff
Do I give it a detail on the end to match my bullet valve caps?
