To support the wheel while installing the wheel bearing a cradle is a handy thing to assemble.

Clean the rim with shellite to remove grease and run the rim tape.

Mount the tyre.
Style with a tyre pen and give your new boots a spray with the tyre gloss.

Job done !

Two assembled wheels.

With the rear tyre on we can now check to see if it complies with rule
18.5.0.6
a) ii) Pre-1965, Pre-1970, Pre-1975- 5" (127mm).

Yep it looks pretty good to me I hope the scrutineers use the same tape measure.

To attach the new alloy sprocket to the hub there is a dilemma.
The old hardware is rusty and the edges on the hex have been rounded. I want to replace them with new S/S Allen Key socket head screws. The problem is that the old bolt has an M8 thread but steps up to 9mm where it locates in the hub and sprocket. The hex across the points is 13.4mm and can not be any larger or it will foul on the brake flange.

One solution is to purchase an alloy tube from Bunnings and some M8 hardware.
If you have access to a lathe turn down the tube to 9mm OD and tap an M8 thread inside your new sleeve.

Place a length of alloy tube into the lathe.
Set the measurement and turn it down to the required diameter, in this case 9mm OD.

Next secure an M8 tap in the drill chuck and feed it into the tube.

Place the parting off tool in the tool post and part the length that is required.
Always use coolant when parting.
