Spend all this week going over previous owners work.

So far, only two mistakes.

First was the steel sleeves were a press fit in the bronze bushings for the horizontal/ elevator hinge.

Second is the inner brake cylinder mount brackets. A hole too big....

Anyone know the material. Will be remaking along with the larger holes for line routing as suggested in the S7 manual.20190908_110418.jpg20190908_110247.jpg
