    ThunderBlade DLX restoration

    OK on to the main event... I have taken half of the steering mechanism apart and cleaned with WD40 and brake cleaner. The rails have come up nice and clean the metal work has some corrosion. I may have a go at some electroplating to return the nickel finish?

    ThunderBlade DLX restoration

    Today's little job was to repair parts of the wiring loom. Looks to have been chewed through by mice. I also had to cut out pieces of semi damaged wire and splice in new ones. Here is the little pile chewed and broken pieces of wire I had to cut out.

    Well I wasn't stuck for long... I found another grub screw on the bottom of the main shaft covered in grease. Once this was removed I could with the help of another person to lift both ends of the frame and move it upwards. However the flight stick was still connected to the steering...

    Yes looks like a brass pin has been rammed in to bodge it up. Will probably have to drill it out.

    ThunderBlade DLX restoration

    Finding the correct match for this blue/gray metallic finish was a real pain. In the end I went with (Yamaha Bluish Grey Metallic 2) and is a very close match for the original color. A quick rub down with a wire wheel to get what was left of the old paint off. I will give this another coat...

    On to the power supply today... As with the rest of outer panels all but one of the security screws had to be slotted with the Dremel as they were stuck fast. Numbered all of the connectors just to be sure! Removed two of the boards and put them in a bag of IPA and into the ultrasonic...

    I think this turned out OK... I added another few mm of resin so that it just covers the centre bars. I think that will do for reinforcing the underside. The next job is to try and work out the paint color and fill and sand the cracks o the top side.

    Someone somewhere will have tyre that size. If there's one thing you discover restoring Sega stuff is that everything was done on the cheap with off the shelf parts, which kind of works in our favour 😀

    ThunderBlade DLX restoration

    So after doing a couple of experiments with epoxy resin and stainless steel mesh. This seems to be really strong with the mesh and will hopefully bond well with the seat surface. I have cut strips of mesh and embedded them in the epoxy, using these three keys of smack to weigh them down ;)...
