Four wheels, tyres and tubes: New 16" cost $92 each (search "90/100 - 16" Inch Tire & Rim Rear back Knobby wheel BIGFOOT Dirt Pit Trail Bike" on ebay). These have 37mm bearings (but maybe 35mm is more versatile, see later note re spindles). Hub is 120mm wide, and 135mm wide counting the raised bosses. They have a 4-bolt 92mm PCD disc mount on one side and 4-bolt 99mm PCD cog mount on the other. On the rear, I will use 25ID/37OD bearings for my 25mm axle:(https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B082PYT33D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Great points Mick & Simon, I haven't had experience with such lightweight vehicles before and kind of went with that they supply! ill have to change up the requirements for these springs. Thin them down and make them not as wide.

The leaf's are:
600mm in length
110mm drop from center point
30mm eye
...I shopped around and managed to get hold of a company here in WA that will make leaf springs to exact drawings. I made a drawing and the quote came back at $159.00eachMore
The leaf's are:
600mm in length
110mm drop from center point
30mm eye
8mm Thick spring steel
50mm wide
This is proper spring steel so it will stand the test. Load capacity is unknown but CK's don't weigh a tonne.
Please look below for the attached drawing, and quote. I haven't given them the go ahead to make them yet as I'm still looking for something that's pre made, but its always nice to know that someone will produce them. Feel free to use the 'Our Ref# 6883' number if you call them, but just state that its not Tom.
Company is 'Boynes Springs'
