Abigail's 'new' rear wheel is back and I'm in need of some bits to fit it. Firstly a rear spindle would be nice :-) The thread of the one I have is knackered (not me m'lud) and the head is very badly marked.
next is some old wornout tyres to rest her on. 110/90X18 (rear) 100/90X18 (front) or anything close. Mixerman did give me an old Avon when I bought the wheel (thanks matey) but I in turn passed it on to a mate to help him out and now I'm bu99ered :-(
If anyone's got anything, I'd be really greatful Cheers guys.

Hi Pat what spindle are you using? I might have another tyre as well
-
Hi matey, The spindle is 270mm long (overall) and 16mm dia. Got anything?? Sorry I gave away the last tyre, but in my defence, I was only passing on the good will you'd shown me. (oops)

Pat, text me with a reminder of your location, I think I've got a pair of useable tyres you can have (will have to check) and I'll be heading down the M6 on Sunday....

got a spare dominator spindle if thats any good to you?

Checked out the condition of the spindle this afternoon to find that the end of the spindle is mullered I wish people would use spanners on their bikes and not use pipe grips, stilsons, molegrips etc instead !
Anyway off to do some carpentry with an adjustable spanner and bolster.
cheers

Thanks anyway matey. Got the ruler out too and a dommie spindle would be way too long.
Anyone else got a spindle?????
-
Will look when I'm digging out tyres tomorrow morning... No promises though!

Thanks matey but I've got tyres from Smudge, quite good ones too :-) Looks like it'll be Stafford auto jumble for the spindle though. Anything going at the bottom of the garden GC??

Did you get a spindle? I might have one.

Thanks Richard, but it's sorted. I had the thread re-cut and filed the bolt head myself to remove the burrs. Both the front and rear spindles are on their way to the platers for chroming now :-)
Couple of weeks and I should be posting piccies of her standing on her own two wheels :-)
