Nice job!! The thought of re-spoking a wheel is the stuff of nightmares lol. I'm pretty sure that if I attempted it I'd end up in a right old mess.

I struggled to get a full matching set. Several wheels that I bought where damaged or rusted. A couple had different centres and/or spokes, and so the final front wheel is the result of a rim and centre from two different wheels that I re-laced with new spokes.

Wow. $5 is a bargain. If only everyone could find $5 wheels I think we'd have a lot more Cyclekarts. I'm guessing that you could make that work with a different bearing maybe?

Yeah couldn't believe it. Seemed almost too good to be true. Funny thing was when I picked them up from the fella he said these were the 'last ones'. Turns out he had heaps of wheels from his Grandpas business that he'd been selling off. Only wish I'd stumbled across the advert earlier.

I haven't had a chance to fit this yet. Unfortunately been flat out with house renovations so the CK has had to take a bit of a back seat.
I did pick up some headlamps from ebay, I'll take a photo next time I'm out in the workshop. From memory they are Massey Ferguson Tractor headlamps and about 5" in diameter so scale quite well.

Which headlights are you going to fit? I am planning on fitting removable mudguards, running boards and headlights to my MGTA.
How did you go with the electric start kit. I have fitted the same kit with a dash mounted key start. I'll take some photos and post them if you would like.

Thanks Les. I'll go take a look see if I can find the video.
The flywheel has a tapered centre, normally taper fit joints are assembled dry so that they grip. Maybe he added some kinds of anti-sieze compound like copper-slip?

I saw a guy on youtube ad one of those used some type of paste to help seat the fly wheel on the shaft

Thanks for sharing your awsome result.
It has inspired me to plan my Cyclekart build.
Where did you source your springs? The link to the site in the States isn't active at the moment
