499 Demon

I was able to put some more time in on the Demon over the past week.
I cut out some sheet metal pieces to fill in the speaker holes where the roll bar is going through. I figured it would be easier if I eliminated the oval shape so I cut it to be almost square. I made the 2 piece with a flange to connect the two.
I also made an adjustable brake plunger.
We're planning on getting started on the engine some time this summer so I called to order a crank scraper from Ishihara-Johnson. They sent me this template to cut to fit my crank and rods. They told me that there's too many odd-ball cranks out there now and doing it this way takes all of the guess work out. I think that this is a smart way to go. I would rather spend an hour doing this than getting a cookie cutter part off the shelf. But that's just me.

Until next time.............Ted
