Austin 7 Special

Yesterday I ordered more bits! For the record and interest:

Four wheels, tyres and tubes: New 16" cost $92 each (search "90/100 - 16" Inch Tire & Rim Rear back Knobby wheel BIGFOOT Dirt Pit Trail Bike" on ebay). These have 37mm bearings (but maybe 35mm is more versatile, see later note re spindles). Hub is 120mm wide, and 135mm wide counting the raised bosses. They have a 4-bolt 92mm PCD disc mount on one side and 4-bolt 99mm PCD cog mount on the other. On the rear, I will use 25ID/37OD bearings for my 25mm axle. On the front I may use AZUSA 5/8" 6" long spindles at $102.09 shipped, on AmazonAU, with four (4) 5/8" to 3/4" sleeves, search "5/8" x 3/4" x 3" Shaft Adapter Pulley Bore Reducer Sleeve Bushing Sheave & Key", jut over $40 shipped on aliexpress, and 3/4" ID to 37mm OD bearings, search "MR190537-2RS Bearing (10PCS) ABXG NB Spain axis bearing repair parts MR190537 190537 (6904 / 19.05-2RS) 19.05X37X9 Bearing" $36.11 shipped, on aliexpress for 10 of them.

"900mm 25mm Axle keyway running full length flexible sprocket disc bearing 4x110": $178 + $35 shipping on ebay.
