The MGA With An Attitude
SANDING FIXTURE for RESURFACING a Banjo Fitting- TS-222
On Aug 3, 2023, Mick Grochowski from Norfolk, VA, USA wrote:
"We wanted to re-use the original banjo bolts on the MGA brakes. There were several small nicks and gouges, so we decided to sand them out. The surfaces need to remain parallel, so we devised a spring loaded, clamp mechanism, with opposing sanding discs, that could be used in a hand drill. The results were better than expected".
