I have been hunting R107 clusters. I busted a breaker bar and a ratchet attempting to get the dang 22mm nuts loose to remove the steering wheels. Over the weekend by horn pad decided to let loose and would bleat at the most inopportune moments. I figured out now to get the pad back where it belongs. I had welded up a magic tool to get the steering nut off. I had a 22mm arm from a 4 way tire iron and a strange ratcheting tire wrench with a hollow shaft that this arm would fit. My weld job was less than spectacular this weekend. I thought I had ground off the anodizing as well as the chrome, but the welds let loose at PnP yesterday. I could not get the cluster or wheels. Back at home I really went to town grinding to really bare metal and laid the welds down layer upon layer so I had a bulging knob when I was done. This morning I hit another PnP and was able to liberate both a Steering wheel that is complete and a spare cluster. And another set of M117 valve covers I am going to attempt to polish to a mirror sheen.

Most of welding isn't welding, it's fitup. My welding is fair, my fitup is terrible.


The last couple days I've been soldering a lot of lantern bits. Maybe in the morning I'll tell the tale.

 I don't need to learn anything about welding - I know Dimitri.
