It's the time factor Rhys. We've just over three weeks to get whatever is going to Malvern running.
The wheels were in a terrible state. so using a rotary wire wheel to clean them up, was the quicker option. Though a tad dusty.
Those wheels were a right fight to get off. When we came to split them to take the tyres off, we found the bolts were counter sunk slotted screws, with a very narrow, shallow slot. Daft idea. No way could we hold them. Fortunately two wheels had them welded up. That's what's going to happen to the other two.
Looks ok, but maybe a bit cluttered compared to the LH side. Can the exhaust be put on the left to balance things out a bit?
Maybe something along the lines of a Bolens exhaust?
Ye Gods! The 5" ally one may do. I'll let you know. I wouldn't be surprised if there's one amongst that lot that I could modify for the other. I need to pop down.
