He lightened and customized some steal adapters for me so that they fit perfectly on the rim. I cant wait to get working on the minibike and hopefully its up and running to take to the drag strip this summer as a pit bike. :blob::blob::blob::blob::blob:

Glad you are happy. Those were some heavy adaptors! Shipping was a lot cheaper on the return ride.

When I saw you ask about that in the other thread I thought "Oh man, good luck finding that"
Pretty cool of him to help you out like he did.

I didn't think so either! After exchanging a bunch of emails with details. It was determined David could help me out and he did a amazing job! He is right about the weight shipping them back! So much lighter and better looking! I'll get a pick of the bike and mock the wheel up on the back so you guys get a idea what I'm working on.

Here is a couple more shots of the before and afters. You can see what he had to work with and how much material he ended up removing.

I coulda made those.....outta plasticine....

 

[mischiefdart]

Get the bike mocked up yet? I am curious to see what the rest looks like.

 

[straightlinespeed]

I did! Here is what Im working with. Its a Montgomery Wards minibike that was so stripped down that it wasnt worth trying to restore. So I turned it into this instead. I have a lot of work left to do on it, but getting those adapters done gave me motivation to get working on it again.

Oh and of course I had to paint it Plum Crazy and Hemi Orange
