Nice wheel but, your disc bolts need to be in the other way round or the end of the bolt will catch on the speedo drive unit  ;)

Dammit!  Well, I've eliminated the speedo, so shouldn't matter too much.

Unfortunately no, far too much to go on a shoestring budget.    Next I assemble a roller and it goes off to have the exhaust built, but only booked in for August.  Will need the time to save - stainless exhaust ain't cheap!

Not that difficult at all really, just took some time to get things round and true.  I'd have a go at it.

Great work Mr T - how long did it take you to lace and true each wheel?
