Front upright assembly

I machined the hex on one of the centre-lock wheel nuts and trial fitted the bearings and stub axles to the upright today. It all went together absolutely fine. Bearing fits were spot on and axle flange runout measured at the outermost part is non-existent with my 0.001" dial gauge. I.e. everything runs very true..

Front stub axles

It's been a little while I know but I have just picked up the front stub axles complete with nuts. The axles themselves are 100% done. I just need to finish machining the nuts on the mill then I can start putting it all together



Bearing nuts need slitting and cross drilling to finish



Wheel nuts need hex shape machining to complete



Stub axle 100% complete
