LukasMcNeal Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hey, Basically my bashing had a lip that was too big so it wouldn't go on the crank straight (if that makes any sense?). So at first I tried sanding it as I didn't have a file, that done sod all. So I whacked out the drill and drilled in lines then cut. It turned out okay just looks rather messy So here it is As you can see I went the wrong way thats why the zoo bit is drilled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6ft-midget Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Whooooaaa that's beyond bodged haha. Good effort Did you do that to both sides in the end cos i don't quite understand why that had to be done. I once had to bodge my Middleburns when the threads that held the cog on stripped. So I drilled through the bash where all the holes where and nut and bolted it, i kinda made the same mistake you did by not double checking before i attacked it with the Black & Decker and ended up drilling out part of the crank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I didnt do both sides because it wasn't to save weight, it was just so it fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 ...Please don't tell me you did all that 'cause you were trying to put it on back-to-front... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 ...Please don't tell me you did all that 'cause you were trying to put it on back-to-front... Nah, appears the lip on the bash was hitting the inside of the crank arm.....and I assume when flipped the lip would catch the chain? Still...if you could cut in between the holes, why couldn't you just do it without the holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I drilled it then used a chisel to get in-between the holes. I tried using a jigsaw but I only had wood blades and they didn't even scratch it!
