a bit of center
#1
hi all well i was given a ruining center last week end from peter it had a slite problem as you will see in the pics i was also given sum time a go from peter a of center turning a tach meant that needed my loving touch sos no pics of that one bin sorted out so i used it to sort out the problem on the ruining center i think the mane reason that it got bent is that their is very Little metal left in the bottom of the center i dismantled the center and gave all the parts a good clean for when it gos back together the first thing i had to do was mack up a new taper for the ruining center sos for the quality of sum of the pics this will be screwed as well as bin silver soldered on to the bottom of the center right pics

Smiley-signs009 On the centre offsetting device Bob.
I'm not sure I can relate pics 8 & 9 but I have enough confidence in your work not to question it.
Nice job.
