I posted the actual Redneck lathe assembly since I had to clean up my welded sprocket holder.The only precision tool I own is a dial guage- I could see with my eyes that the shaft wasn't perfectly true-.003 out of round from the Redneck lathe (I checked the chuck and guess what .003 worth of slop!) If I'd wanted to spend another 15 mins. on the shaft I could have had a polished piece!!!This is what it looks like with it all "CHAINED" up- This is the most important phase of the assembly,everything else just needs to be "close" not exact!!! If I get lucky I may get to fire it up this weekend and listen to the drive-train in action. Since I won't be having a clutch I'm removing that pedal and spacing the brake over a bit, remove all the linkage and carriers I made to free up some room down the center floor board for an emergency brake handle.So there's still quite of bit of fabbing to do.
