This will be machined to fit the other side of the wheel to mount the Disc brake rotor.
When I have done the drawing I will post (nearly complete)
An here's an artists impression (that's piss artist)

So you're taking the centre out of that wheel to use as a hub?

Am 100% thanx Pete.
Shed what shed, had to do this at work last night and will probably take another 2-3 evenings work to complete and that's just one bit.
After the milling I have to set the lathe up to turn the edge to suit the other wheel.

Not mine. SkaMan's. Mine's just a lock-up. Been too hot to contemplate the hour's walk across town to work on the trike today. Will be cadging a lift back to Janie & Dave's place to have a look at the freebie bike later in the week. So skint I can't afford to spend anything on it at the moment though.  |

Ah! so we are in the "same boat" so to speak.The only advantage I have is the workshop where I work which I can only use once in a while otherwise it's classed as stealing, I class it as part of my wages (Seein' as I get paid JackSh*t). Anyways "Hard work will do you good" so my old Mum used to say, and it's a grand feeling pissing passed some Boom or Rewco trike purchased off the shelf, knowing it's all your own work (or most of it).
Chin up Bro, the frames looking splendid
I know how you feel Andy I went through the no money bit when I started the trike. If theres any thing you need just ask I maybe able to help. and it's only an hour or so to your stamping grounds.
Had another windfall this evening have now got enough 1 7/8" CDS tube for the forks, was going to use 1 3/4" but had trouble finding any at the right price. Walked into a friends garage and spied 2 1 meter lengths, so now having the yokes bored out to 48.5 ish mm.
That's another crisis averted will be doing more milling tomorrow night hope to have the milling completed by the end of the week then the Turning next week, only got two more bits of the hub to get then it's PLAYTIME.
So far the front end has cost me a BIG FAT £0 and I would say that I'm almost there with the parts, the only bits left to get are 2 more wheel bearings, the two previously mentioned bits of stock for the hub, something to make the swingarm from (2"x 1" box steel would do) 2 bearings for the piviot blocks and some 1" thick wall steel Channel, and the brake mounting bits plus two discs which I havn't even started to look for yet and a few other bit's and bob's.

Stamping grounds -postman -ha, ha, ha!!
Sorry.
Took out a mortgage on a flat the size of a walk-in cupboard when I was with the girlfriend before last -or was it the one before that? I forget. Trouble is, now I'm single I'm still paying all the same bills on one wage. Maybe I should flog the flat & live in the garage!
Sounds like you've been a busy bunny matey. That's an ultra low machine you've got there -what's the seat height on your tricycle?

That was the old version of twisted as I 'm sure you can tell it's the same Trike (Honest Orrificer)
I think it was about 14-16" at the seat
