How do I tweak it so the dropouts are in alignment? I’m talking a few mm FWIW. Using leverage from a 2x4 seems sketchy and using a mallet more so.
Also, how do I know if one dropout is in the correct position fore and aft?
Shoutouts to
gugie and
bulgie may yield a correct answer but others may also have a good solution.
Thx y’all!
For you, the answer is to book some time at the Atelier. It takes several tools to do this properly.
I'm retiring in a week, I know you work weekends, so ping me!
