Hi all, I got about 10 emails yet. If the price for ball bearings doesn't go up, I should be able to supply for less than US$ 60 per set, incl. late parts, bearings, circlips. Shipping comes extra. As mentioned on my webpage, I'll try to redesign the kit to avoid difficult modifications at the wheel.

$60.00 for the machined parts also? That would be great. I purchased the bearings to do it myself and with circlips they were about $25.00 US. Even with making the bushings and bearing mount out of aluminum to save time (I suppose some could be made of plastic), it looks like its going to take me at least the 8 hours or more that Mauritz suggested to make the parts. I tried to figure out how to make parts that do not require modifying the wheel parts also, but most of the shafts and holes seem to be standard (inch) measurements and the bearings are metric. I could not find standard size bearing to fit the dimensions. Good luck and keep us posted on what come up with.

Since its the easiest to machine, I'm tending to brass - heavy duty :-) No plastic - promised. I still need a *** wheel to redesign the kit - and don't want to buy another one. Anybody in the area South Malaysia or Singapore interested in getting his wheel upgraded and only pay the price for the bearings? Jens BTW: already about 20 enquiries >$60.00 for the machined parts also? That would be great. I purchased the >bearings to do it myself and with circlips they were about $25.00 US.

I would have thought having used a lathe on odd occasions in my life that alloy would have been a lot easier to work with?? MikeT. --
