I might also have some of the parts that you need. PM me with photos also.Mike Walsh wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 8:35 amAndy, I might have some of these castings (surplus to my needs). I am not sure if they are 3/4" or 1/2" - inclined to think 1/2", but if they are 3/4" and useful to you, you can have them free of charge if you're interested. Can you send me a PM with a photo of the brake hangers and brackets with a 6" scale next to them and I'll look in my shop?Andy R wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 5:46 pm Examining the drawings that I had, the complexity of some parts appeared too great to try and fabricate, so a few castings were obtained from John at Friends Yankee Shop. The Brake Hanger Bracket #4134 in particular was a bit of a puzzle regarding how to hold the casting while machining, and in what order the machining was done. Adding to the consternation is the dimensioning - all relative rather than from an absolute reference. All connecting parts had to be consulted. In addition to supporting the brake hangers, these also support the main equalizers.IMG_4199.JPG
I have elected to not (yet) finish any surface that does not need finishing. Paint will hide everything anyway.
Another casting set obtained is the brake hangers, part #8142. These are paired left and right. And holding them was also a puzzle.IMG_4197.JPG
I may thin the web to the dimensioned 1/16 inch, but at this time it appears unnecessary.
