Corgi (1/43 scale) - Lancia Fulvia
 |
| The model is pretty good (may be from an older casting/mold), but the wheels are unfortunately generic (they have the "whizzwheels" narrow raised area on the tire to make them go much faster if someone pushed them...) |
 |
| Engine lid opens sideways, like the actual car... |
After cleaning
 |
| Didn't take a picture after, but painted the paint loss areas of the engine lid black. Looks much better... |
Old chain from the Miele bike -- After cleaning & ready to be installed on the Schwinn Paramount
 |
| Old chain after cleaning. Not perfectly clean but serviceable... |
 |
| I have this missing link (silver link on the left) from a new chain that came with it. |
 |
| The brand is KMC and it's 7.1 mm width (the pin's width). |
 |
| Visually, it looks like it's the same size. |
 |
| Measuring the pin length, it's close to 7.1 mm |
 |
| Measuring the pin length on the old chain, it appears to be 7.3 mm. |
 |
| The missing link placed on top of the old chain. Again, visually it's very close. |
 |
| The chain on the left is a new chain and the one on the right is the old chain. |
 |
| They're visually the same height... |
 |
| These are a couple of new chains. The one on the right is the one that's in the previous picture. The packaging says the chain is 1/2" between links and 9/32" width (7.1 mm pin width). The new chain on the left side is also marked to be 1/2" between links and 9/32" width. 9/32" converts to 7.14 mm. |
 |
| I need to remove the other pin on the link that the chain was separated from. |
 |
| After removing the link. Now, the old chain is ready to be rejoined using a "missing link." I'm going to order a 7.3 mm width missing link... |
