Thread: Bad to the "A-Bone".

Daver,

Thanks for showing some impressive innovation/adaptation! Thanks also for the paint recipe/formulation, that is a really nice color! During my career I designed a fair bit of custom machined aluminum for small instruments, but I always had several professional machinists backing me up, so I can "imagine" the design pretty well but now working alone in my garage I have to face the fabrication details myself and I am amazed at the skill and workmanship of you and a number of others on this Forum.
The nitty details like a slight tilt of the column and the adaptation of the column bracket are valuable to me even though I may have to come up with my own installation details. I guess I will go with the 41 1/4" distance suggested by the Brookville guy and hope that the pedal arm does not hit the transmission case; if it does I figure I could weld reinforcing pieces to the sides of the pedal arm for strength and then grind away up to 1/2" of the pedal arm where it hits the transmission (700R4) now that I have seen your innovations.
