This could be a regular event so send John your requests for future workshops! The man, the legend, our very own 914 metal god...ok so he's a Karman Ghias deviant but we can consider it a close relative to the 914... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Thank you Tony of TC Design for hosting this workshop. Your shop is great. Attached image(s)

The wheels themselves run about $400-500 a set. The frame could be made easily enough (esp. for portability). The clamping yoke would be something of a hurdle. Mssr. Kelly's custom made unit used a surplus Boeing worm drive (probably off a rudder or elevator drive), but those aren't exactly readily available.
I believe they're about a grand fully made for the lowend units, which are only portable if you have 2-3 guys to muscle it in and out of a pickup. |
