Re: Jerobee electric to glow conversion nr 2
I received the bushigs this week. They came all the way from Finland. It was impossible to push in the bushings by hand. I mounted a 3mm bolt with nut and washers to push them gently into place by screwing the nut. When the nut was fully tight, I removed the bolt and tried the wheel on the stub axle. It fits perfectly and the wheel turns freely. This indicates the great precision that the wheels were made with. I was afraid that 2 separated bushings wouldn't line up but they did! Although the flanges make the hub wider, there is still enough room left to mount some filler washers.

I completed the chassis today. Before mounting the front wheels, I put some oil into the bearings and had them soaked all day. 2 3mm washers were needed per side for the end play. I fitted the standard rubber Jerobee tyres and made sure the inscription "Jerobee Racing" was on the outside. The track rod I used is the one that was on the car. This track rod is split and gives immediately the right toe in. I have an original Jerobee track rod but the is one piece of piano wire.
I assembled the back axle with a 56 teeth gear that Ron sent me ages ago. When mounting the gear, better mount it with the text on the inside then at least, it remains visible.

I installed the new front body post. The back post had to be more towards the rear to clear for the head rest extension. The previous owner made a simple piece of aluminium with a nylon bolt and foam pads for the body to sit. As the aluminium covered the oblong hole for the throttle rod, I had to cut away some material in order to use the hole again.

Looking Good , comes together a little at a time and not to much modifying Can't believe you found replacement stands for the body to sit on .

Good trick if you can do it Lieven. I don't see how but I'm sure that you will find a way. Bob
