Questions, questions, questions ???
Guys,
More questions for you.
I have a small collection of hand tools, hammer, large socket set, two small boxes of spanners screw drivers adjustables, typical household stuff and a workmate.
In order to build a Sportster what items will I need to succeed and what could I do without ?
I believe an engine hoist is essential ( probably sell that on ebay afterwards ). Coil spring compressor, adjustable axle jacks, grinder, these are some of the things I have seen on your various web sites that I do not have.
Do I need a bench and vice ? or can you do without ?
Most of the work would have to be done by myself as my few neighbours are well into retirement and have a job to lift themselves let alone lend me a hand. Obviously quite a few items need two people ie. back axle and engine/gearbox. Don,t really have a social circle of friends to call on, but I have a colleague who can weld and fabricate and has offerred to help if I am stuck.
I would love to tackle a build and am very tempted to go look at Spart's as its for sale, but am wondering if its a step too far for me.
Also as his chassis is six years old, have Marlin done any mods to the chassis since then because of problems that you guys have discovered during your builds. If that is the case a new chassis might be better.
Many questions I know, but I am in a quandry.
pm me if you don,t want to put it up for public view.
Many thanks
Dennis
