    Had a go at changing the front wide wheels to narrow ones today. I found a pair of wheels at Johns with back plates and drums which im not using ( don't think the wheelhorse needs front brakes ) dont know what they were from but were painted a sort of air force blue. with a bit of machining in the lathe 2 sleeves were made and thick washers and a bit of drilling and tapping. heres how far ive got today.

    Got me Raider 12 back from Johns yesterday after its tour of duty at his place over the last few weeks. Decided to do a few jobs to it and the first thing was a front weight carrier made from some angle iron and an old mule drive so i can unclip it when not in use, i made it to take 2 weights but I think one will be enough. I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

    Had a bit of time on these making the fixing thingy's out of old bits of metal I've had layin about. 1/2" plate cut into squares and drilled and taped with 7/16" bsw holes with stainless bolts. 1/4" flat plate with 3/4" holes and 3' of 1"1/2" square box section. just need to get the stick welder out and weld it all together, here's a photo of the bits
