Main Undercarriage

 

The Bracket that supports the wheel pant is made of mild steel and has already started to rust. This deserved some TLC in the way of blasting and powder coating gloss white.

In order to remove the sharp edges of the holes in the brackets, a spherical drill stone was used. 

The finished result was a quality finish in preparation for the rebuild of the axles and wheel bearings.
