Sidecar Leading Link rebuild job finally DONE! Much more solid!

Finally finished the leading link rebuild on the sidecar. 2 weeks of hard work. This video includes a machining summary of what I did and a short clip of test riding.
Here's the forum I mentioned that I used to make my in-house Zinc Plating electrolyte solution:

    Always a pleasure to see a craftsman re-engineer and improve a project. We all learn from from new experiences to improve past projects. You ultimately benefit from your investment in time, experience and thought. The zinc plating was a bonus. Great job Tom! Be good. Remain safe. Go out and have a Deluxe day!

    I would happily have watched a three hour video on making a leading link suspension. Contrary to popular belief, zinc is actually very reactive and will corrode readily. You need to passivate the parts once they are plated to get any semblence of long life - assuming you are not living in an entirely arid location.

    What's passivate? lol... (too lazy to look it up). It was an experiment. We shall see. Thanks.

    Maybe just time lapse when it gets complicated?
