Got a little bit done on the fore rocker shaft tonight. Sometimes deciding what to do takes way longer than actually doing it.
A quick spin in the lathe and some fine emery showed all the bumps and burrs on the shaft so they could be carefully filed off. I thought about filling and redrilling the spiral pin holes in the shaft and rocker arm or going oversize. In the end I picked up a 1" bore weld-on sprocket hub. I cut a 1/4" keyway in the shaft and the hub will get welded to the rocker arm. A person could buy a one foot piece of 1" keyed shaft and three hubs and do all three arms. I may do the front lift arm too.
