[QUOTE="NotMatt, post: 779006, member: 15947"] Ooh la-la. I got some work done finally. :clappy: Penny is ready to start the day... she even brought some Frank's Red Hot to make lunch a little spicier. [img]http://www.poseycanyon.com/mjohnston/061706/P1010271.JPG[/img] A pile of steering parts. I also picked up some 1.5" .25" wall DOM on Friday... had to drive home with it sticking out of the passenger window of my DD since I underestimated the exact dimensions of an 8'9" stick of tube. [img]http://www.poseycanyon.com/mjohnston/061706/P1010272.JPG[/img] Here's the 7* reamer from XKUT on eBay. Mmm... sharp. [img]http://www.poseycanyon.com/mjohnston/061706/P1010275.JPG[/img] Insert here... it worked very well. It's tough to get the speed and feed "just right" with a hand drill, but it did the trick without too much trouble. [img]http://www.poseycanyon.com/mjohnston/061706/P1010276.JPG[/img] Then there's this thing... just sitting there...: [img]http://www.poseycanyon.com/mjohnston/061706/P1010274.JPG[/img] While I work on this.
