Thanks Silverbear. This has been a lot easier than I would have thought. At least so far anyway. Guess the summer bike camp was a lot of help. LOL.
Went to get some 1-1/2" T's that Fastenal sells and the close to me store has moved quite a ways away. So Tuesday I'll have to go up and get the parts.
Monday is Thanksgiving in Canada and the country stops as it should.
Then I went to Home Depot since I found that they had 10' 3/4" galvanized ground rods in the electrical section for $20. The metal/nut and bolt section has 3 foot sections for $18. Want to use these for the arms that will hold the front axle in place and the two support rods that help hold the tube going down from the head tube with the steering rod in it. Don't know how the tubing I bought will hold up since it's pretty thin walled.
Nope! Sold the last two today. Perfect. Now the week end is toast. The other HD is around the corner from Fastnal and with gas running at $6.00 a gallon I'll have to wait until Tuesday. It's about a 20 mile drive with a Dodge camper van.
If I come up with something interesting I'll post it or see you Tuesday.
Steve.
