Do you have a problem with your Bell crank getting a little loose, affecting the steering on your old flattie? But, you don’t want to go through the mods necessary or alter the originality of the steering?
Gary’s friend Lawrence has developed a great solution. Lawrence Elliot theorized that that the bell crank could be machined in a way to accept tapered roller bearings. It is then fitted with a pin style adjustment. As you can see in the pics below, the final product looks simple and slick.
If you are interested in having Lawrence build you one of these, you can contact him at 828-287-5275. Thanks for sharing this great idea!
