OK men, are we settled on 2.64" ? It seems to be correct to me and to be honest I never thought to work it out as a triangle :oops:
I blame age :roll:

And as a matter of interest Bruce, to start with I did just as you did and forgot about the arc :crazy:

Thanks guys for all the input,................. hi ho, hi ho, a drilling I shall go.

If the wheels fall off I shall blame all of you :lol: :lol:

Might be a safer bet Rod to forget the holes and just weld it on :lol:

Or get a professional who has done a full risk assessment and comes with fire crew and ambulance in case it goes wrong.

Easier to just get a sucker to test it :lol: " 'Ere yar buddy, go and thrash that, you'll be perfectly safe" :lol:

Can't see it being a problem really, there's another 7 wheels to hold it up :thumbup:

Gloop, never trust professionals. I used to turn up with a fully equipped ambulance at Motocross tracks in exchange for a steak sandwich and a can of coke. Even got the thing airborne over one of the jumps... hmmm.. maybe I need not apply...

Well, it all seemed to work out, set the callipers to required measurement, marked off around the pcd and had to adjust the callipers by a gnats kna**er on the little wheel thingy.

So, marked and drilled now, all done apart from welding them in the wheels :thumbup:

Cheers men 8-) .
