Brief Description:	Drilling plates and pre-loading bushes.
Drilled the alloy plates for the front wheel assembly. Prepared the gear leg and weldment so Rodney can take them to work and drill the hole for the locating pin (my drills are not sharp enough) Took advice from Peter T and preloaded the brass bushings with oil - will greatly reduce initial wear. The technique was to place each bush on my finger, slightly overfill the centre with machine oil - then squeeze the oil through the material until it oozes through the outside wall. Once the oil comes all the way through to the outside the bush is preloaded. I continue with the education and learning side of this project!
