the showman 4,074 #182 Posted March 16, 2020 As the sun was shining today I thought I’d paint the wheels and seats. First job was to make a jig to hold the wheels as it’s difficult to hold them up with hooks while painting, I’m really pleased with them and will leave for a few days to harden before fitting the tyres. 6 Alan, Ian, pmackellow and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the showman 4,074 #185 Posted March 19, 2020 Sorting out the front tyres from the back of the shed, I knew these would come in handy one day. No prizes for guessing where they came from, . The wheels that i made I decided to put nuts and bolts through them although I welded them it’s just a safety issue, also found some shiny capped nuts to add a bit of bling. 7 pmackellow, Alan, Cub Cadet and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #186 Posted March 19, 2020 Good idea with the bolts and the domed, chrome nuts are a nice touch. 1 the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan 1,273 #187 Posted March 19, 2020 I can still see the excited, dribbly mouthed look on your face Chris, when you grabbed the tires screaming, MINE, ALL MINE before disappearing with them in the direction of the four wheeled red skip. 1 2 Stormin, pmackellow and the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben got his belt guard modified and fitted along with the pulleys and drive belt finally got his 4 feet on the floor so he’s moved off the bench.

the showman 4,074 #196 Posted March 25, 2020 My new tyres arrived yesterday, very pleased with them almost the same size and a third of the price. As the rims are old i put new tubes in them as they were only £6 each. Now both the boys are on the floor and rolling. 6 Triumph66, nigel, Alan and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
