Anyone have a used 8" scooter rim they wouldn't mind donating? I am making up a new hub for the club's trailer and want a rim to match it to.
Failing that, if anyone has a parts order going out, I'd like to tag along for a new one (they're cheap).
Thanks
Angelo

How wrecked? Is it shoot-it-to-put-it-out-of-its-misery wrecked? Or could we tweak it back to true-ish if we close our eyes and hit it really hard?

Great!
I should have remembered you had 8" wheels surplus to requirements. We just need one. Are you looking for anything in particular? Mi casa es su casa.

Mostly help and advice. I got parts for the gear box and a 177 kit, so mostly I need a bit of guidance in stripping and installing the new parts as the instructions are a bit light on info.

How about if you came up for the weekend and we had an club workshop on your engine?
I have already reserved your usual room.

That sounds great. What parts do you need? I have the rear brake drum, and the complete front fork assembly if needed. I don't mind donating these parts for that kind offering of help.

Heck, we do it just for the doughnuts!
I only need just the one rim, that's all.
However, you need a bunch of stuff. Start a new thread an d outline exactly what you want done and I'll sort out a parts list. Once we have the parts, we'll arrange a date in the new year for you to come up.
Thanks again!
