TENDER WORKING PARTY
In the great Gloucestershire outback, we continue
to hone our bush craft on the tender brake rigging
The new pin has been drilled for the securing split pin
and the bracket has been re-bushed and this brake
hanger bracket is ready for cleaning and painting
With the six brackets well on their way to completion,
attention turns to the next item, the brake hangers.
One is set up for machining to shell out the old top
bush prior to replacement
The boring bar being set to machine the old bush
as concentric as possible to the original bore
in the bracket before chiselling out the remains of the bush
The top end of the hanger bracket with the bush removed
The hanger bracket is 3" wide but had been bushed
from both sides with half bushes as can be seen from
these old bushes.
