To clarify too - the knuckle itself wasn’t painted it was plated & seen this way in many photos - at least early short stands

This might have changed later with pressure on & requirements for vehicles at a high where additional production processes increased cost & extended delivery times

Thanks for the explanation for the plating, Mark.

John, you're right, the knuckles were plated, but cadmium plated, I had several NOS ones, even sold you some.

Cheers,

This is the short Field Stand kit mounted with the later panniers fitted. Lots of room and adjustable.
The black passivated zinc was still not too standard and will be a fight for another day, but I expect everyone will paint the items.

The clamp on Field Stand kit is yet to be tried and I'm still not convinced about lengths. I guess I will have to work with the first few customers to get the length right.

Finally, what you have all been waiting but will never buy.

What's required now is a bike to fit one too, to confirm lengths. There are so many ways to fit this, but right or wrong I've worked to the knuckle being below the clamp bolt and the axis of rotation being parallel to the ground with the bike vertical. Also, to avoid the battery the clamp should be close to the seat spring lug.
A word of warning the paint on the frame may act as a lubricant causing the clamp to slip.

This has been a tougher project than I ever imagined.

I'm very impressed, not only at the quality but also at the fact someone has finished a project, thats pretty rare on here.

Now if you can make set of M20 girders which allow us to risk an accident and have a an insurance repair that would be great, but ideally without the PES branding which would make me think twice.

Thanks Rob, it's been a fight. I think without the kind willing helpers I would have given up. So far, I think this has cost me more than the price of a bike.

Yes, I agree the branding on the fork kinks is a little heavy, though it will hardly show being on the inside. It will grind off. At the moment the forks have slipped to low priority due to a lack of interest. The big problem is that their large amounts of forks in private collections. Rear frames are in shorter supply.
Also, the foundry that was helping me has changed ownership and only wants to cast "Tree quantities" only. This makes it expensive to test a mould tool.

At the end of the day, if Anita doesn't see sales, the time I'm allowed to work on this stuff diminishes. All the CNC machines are overdue replacement and that's not cheap.

Your kit has been sent partially assembled and should be easy to workout based on the picture above mounted to a bike.
The clip plate is a fiddley thing to mount, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it.
Watch out for the collar in the knuckle, it must line up with the notch in the bolt.
If the stand pole is mounted the wrong way round the bike will lean too far.
