Time in Garage Monday-None
I took the day off yesterday. I had planned to do some clean up of the workspace and rear hubs but ended up doing nothing. I did call my local bearing supplier to see if the rear hub bearing were available. The cone is but it is very expensive-the race is not available in Canada. I made an e-mail enquiry with my Triumph parts suppliers on bearing availability-no word back yesterday. I may contact my brother today who has contacts in the bearing industry and see what he can do?
I did a quick estimate of the tasks remaining to finish off the chassis to rolling status.
Right hand suspension assembly 4 hrs
Front disk brake install 6 hrs includes repacking the front brgs
Hand brake installation 2 hrs
Rear hub bearings and seals 4 hrs
Rear brake assemble install 2 hrs
Clean up and paint driveshaft 4 hrs
clean up and inspect transmission 4 hrs
find engine mounts and install 2 hrs (for some reason my purchased engine mounts are missing?)
reconnect brake lines 3 hrs
misc 2 hrs like installing wheels, transmission mount etc
33 hrs
I wasn't able to meet my critical path tasks for the month of February although I did spend a fair amount of time in the garage. My estimates for painting the remaining chassis components was was way off. Also the complication of the worn trunnion slowed down the reassembly of the front suspension. 33 hrs is a considerable amount of time left pending but if I keep my head down perhaps I can catch up a bit...
