ROLLING CHASSIS!!!!!

With all that done, all I needed to do was mount the 3 wheels. The front brakes are hydraulic and have odd wheel bolts and I could not find wheel nuts to fit so I ordered a 1/2BSF tap and made the nuts. I made them from a high alloy bronze hex bar that I had on hand. This is tough stuff with a high shear strength so I have no worries about using it. I milled the hex to match the 9/16" nuts on the rear hub.
Once this was all buttoned up the chassis hit the ground for the first time in over 5 years. Exciting day.
