Fantastic video. I really enjoyed it. Good job you had another set of brake shoes. Your Swindens vice is doing a great job. It was brilliant to see you last weekend. Look forward to part 2.
Great video Dean. If you look underneath my bike stand I'm sure there are the ghosts of about 10 different headstem bearings! The bikes coming together well and I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Excellent video, Dean. Very sorry to learn of the loss of the brake shoes. They may turn up. I think a lot of the cost of shipping these days is in the storage.
Great job Dean, man I always think I have it figured out with those bearings. Never happens buddy. Just join the group of folks that have them everywhere on the floor of their shop. Sorry to hear about your brake shoes, we have the same problems here with our delivery services.
Thanks Dale. I don't have much feeling in my fingertips, I have to find any way I can not to drop those blasted ball bearings! Parcel companies, what can you do? Best wishes, Dean.
I had a really good magnet years ago, unfortunately now lost. The only way to remove it from sheet metal was to slide it off the edge, I was told it was from a limpet mine!
Another great video Dean if I might ask a question. Iam just rebuilding a D14 engine and need to re tap the clutch case screws could you possibly tell me the tap size needed as i am not familiar with imperial threads.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. BSA used a variety of threads over the years. The early cases were BSW but I think that the D14 were the same as the D10, so they should be 1/4 BSF. I did hear of UNC threads being used on the very last Bantams but I haven't seen any. Best wishes, Dean.
Great to see you both the other day, thanks for your wonderful hospitality. I've seen 'behind the scenes' viewers, there's good things to come 👍
Thanks Ade, you are always welcome.
Best wishes, Dean.

Good description showing the rebuild. Well done to you. Coming on nicely now Dean.

Thanks Steve

Thanks Bones. It shouldn't be too much longer now. I'm steadily collecting parts for the next project.

Thanks Peter. Not to worry, at least I have another set.
Best wishes, Dean.
@@retromechanicalengineer Indeed, but hardly the point. Love that vise! What a beauty.
@@petermckee1061 the Swindens vice has been in storage for 15 years, until I finally had a workbench up to the task of holding it!

Thankfully not with the mine still attached!The hard drive magnets I had were like that. I wish I knew where they were!

Thanks Cain
That sucks about the break shoes.
It does Cain. Hopefully better luck with the other set.
Best wishes, Dean.
