27th September 2017 - Tims Tribute Build.

Evening everyone.

CBRTIM Tribute Bike Build in Remembrance of our Eldest Son Timothy James Osborn.

---

We are back with Maz in here workshop.

---

Right Side front engine mount is tacked in place...

---

Marking up the new frame rail, as we get ready to remove this original part of the frame....

---

We will be using the hydraulic jack to take the strain of the engine

---

and to hold it square........

---

Maz'double checking everything, to make sure CBRTIM sits level and square........

---

We are now lining up everything for the rear of the engine mounts........

---

Cutting the next frame box section........

---

Maz's fire sparks show! (Free entry)........

---

Maz is busy cutting away chucks of the old frame.........

---

More chucks are being cut away of the old frame.........

---

Will soon be able to pull away a chunk of the old frame.........

---

It is Spot Maz Time, as the frame dwarfs her!.........

---

And finally out comes a small chunk of the original frame!.........

---

And out comes another small chunk of the original frame!.........

---

Gradually the original frame is being hacked away!.........

---

And finally out comes this large chunk of the original frame!.........

---

A sizable chunk of the original frame!.........

---

Now we have some space, to work in!.........

---

Now we can measure up the right side swing arm mount box section!.........

---

Now that is a good fit, just enough metal left to mols the square box section so that it sits flush with the top round frame tube!.........

---

We have the frame clamped to the jig (yes it is an exhaust clamp!).........

---

We move round to the front of CBRTIM.........

---

We take to box swing arm bolt section of the frame to the pillar drill and line everything up.........

---

and we set the drill on its way, with a pilot drill bit to start the hole for the swing arm.........

---

Next is to get the drill cutter out and after chacking to make sure we have the right size, we start the cutting.........

---

Using some cooling fluid to keep everything from getting to hot!.........

---

Now to clean the box section up, so it is ready for the next job!.........

---

And the bolt sleeve slide snugly into the box section!.........

---

It is time to call it a night, as its gone 1am! and I still need to find a place to sleep overnight in the transit.

Luckily I know of a free place to park up not to far away
So after a brief discussion about the next stage on the build we all head home to our beds!.........

---

All in all another good day.

Progress is maybe not as quick as I would like, but one of the important jobs, I have given Maz, is to slow me down and make sure we get it right the 1st time!
Maz is probably the only friend I have who could do this important job and get away with how she chooses to do it!!
