Received a pair of 10mm thick mild steel axle plates in the post today. 29 quid from Cycle Haven in Lincolnshire, via Ebay. They come with a 20mm slot for the wheel spindle, allowing chain adjustment, cut outs for the hardtail frame tubes to fit into & mudguard strut mounting holes.

I didn't realise that axel plates were so easy to get hold of! This thread has given me an idea, I'm so excited I could not get to sleep last night for thinking about the possibilitys  , Cant wait to see the progress on this! |

That's what I thought Paul. I like making my own parts & do try not to throw money away unnecessarily, but as you say, you'd be hard pressed to make 'em yourself for less. Can't sleep for thinking about axle plates? Well, there's a man that's easily pleased! You got the building bug bad, boy!  |

I was not thinking about axel plates, I just saw your post today and said what I said. I only saw this thread for the first time last night and had a trawl through which got me thinking about the GS250 I got sat doing nothing, Spoke to Doc today regarding chopping and bobbering it, I think it'll have to be done!

Yeah, we're only joshing Archie. Quite jealous that your first build is turning out so cool actually. I remember my first attempts. I'd rather forget them. Looks like you've kick started our interest matey. |
