All of the work with the axles and wheels was taking place along with work on the brakes. I had previously made the brake handle and its mount and installed them. It was now time to make a few additional pieces. The first three pictures show a piece that attaches to the brake handle and balances the tension to the brakes via the brake cable. Sonex calls for a nylon screen door roller. I got a nice metal one with a bearing.
I bought 0.5” x 0.75” bar stock for these pieces. The plans call for 0.5” x 0.5” but both the nylon or metal wheels I found were too thick for that size. This worked fine. The last picture is of a cable guide piece that is mounted in the spar tunnel. I could have made it without ripping down the bar stock, but I had recently put time into cleaning up and resetting up the band saw and wanted to try a nice rip cut. It was straight and perfect. The band saw has been working better than ever.
