Jack,Those wheels look great!!!!!!!! Now for a couple of questions........I noticedthat the flange on one side appears to be a different size than the other. Isthere a reason for this or do I need to re-calibrate my eyes? What are yougoing to use for brakes? Do you have any drawings of the hubs? What shop turnedthem for you?Jim Dallas________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004 08:35:05 -0600

Hi Jim,Thanks for the compliment. Yes the flanges are different on the inside andoutside, in order to allow installation of Cleveland 8" disc brakes. I havedrawings of the hubs on AutoCAD if you are interested. The hubs were turnedby Leland Machine Shop in Wilmington, NC. Billy Johnson, the owner of theshop, has built several airplanes and I think gave me a special pricebecause of that.The wheels without tires or brakes weigh 16.5 lbs each. Heavier than Iwould have thought, but not a lot heavier than the Goodyears I got thebearings from.Jack Phillips-----Original Message-----
