Build day 7

Wheels and Lights

I wanted to get an idea of the offsets and other measurements needed to spec the wheels so I fitted the front and rear wheel arches. Also I took the opportunity to fit the spare wheel holder to get some photos so I can think about how I am going to set out my lights and what lights they will be.

The gas bottle in the background of the second photo is for the water heater I had to install this morning for wifey so she can properly shampoo her horses hence the pitiful build progress today (plus I am short some parts but I felt she needed the guilt).

Distance from the outside of the rear wheel arch to the face of the hub is 105mm. The rear spigot diameter is 57mm and the distance from the center of the hub to the outside of the calliper is 150mm.

Distance from the outside of the front wheel arch to the face of the hub is 75mm.  The front spigot diameter is 60mm and the distance from the center of the hub to the outside of the calliper is 150mm. The arch itself is 220mm wide.

Oh, and Happy Star Wars Day, May the Fourth be with you.
