Some of you might know that I recently snapped my exup pulley wheel trying to service my seized valve.
As I can't source one for love, nor money, and being a former engineer, I thought I'd make one myself!
I found some steel plate in my "workshop" and set to work cutting out 3 plates I intended on rivetting together.
That's the main one done.
This next one is for the centre of the pulley where the cable lies.
And the backplate.
I clamped them all together and drilled the rivet holes.
I pinned the lot together, and riveted it up.
Just needs dressing up.
And here it is fitted to the exup cables ready for the valve to go back in.
Backyard engineering at its best!
