Tack welded into position to make sure all functions correctly. Still have to make the gear change handle and the bottom plate.
Just can't seem to find enough time at the moment. Colin.

Wow, nice piece of work, but you sure went for the more difficult option in radius turning on that shaft. A well-known way (as described in Model Engineer and other places) for producing ball handles is to ....take a large ball bearing. Red heat to soften, drill through. Silver solder to shaft. Done!

Hi Steve, yes that is another way, but the hardest part of that, is finding a ball bearing with a diameter of 44mm. Even if you found one bigger it would be so hard to reduce the dia, but thanks for your comments.

Nearly finished the gear change mech. I would have to say, if you never had access to an original mech, it would be really difficult to make a replica from pictures.
