FTE AXLES WITH ANY WHEELS
I LIKE GOVN'R'S WIDE WHITEWALL TIRES, HAD SOME VERY SMALL FTE WHEELS,
SPLIT THE DONAR FTE AXLE IN HALF, SLIDE THE FTEs OFF, FILE THE CUT BURRS SMOOTH, GRAFFITE, SLIDE THE WWWs ON, FINGER SPIN FAST AND LONG, CLEAN THE AXLE, SPIN, CLEAN, SLIDE THE WHEELS ON, BEND THE AXLE 90* ABOUT 1/16TH" FROM THE CUT,
.
DRILL HOLES IN THE BASE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ATTATCHING PRONGS, THE 90* BENT ENDS WILL SLIDE ONTO THESE HOLES, TAPE THE BASE UNDER THE HOLES, CAREFULLY SHIM THE BASE SO THE WHEELS SIT LEVEL,
.
I USED CHEESE N CRACKER PADDLES AND SOME CARDSTOCK STRIPS FOR SHIMS, FINE TUNE THE ALIGNMENT AS THE J.B.QUICK SETS UP, REPEAT FOR THE FRONT WHEELS,
BECAUSE I PUT THE FRONT AXLE UNDER THE BASE, I DIDN'T DRILL THE J.B. HOLES, I LET THE 90* ENDS POINT TO THE REAR, THEY SPIN LIKE FTEs, BUT LOOK DIFFERENT...A-OK BASE W/ SIDERAIL TRIMMED TO FIT SUPERFINE TURBINE RE-CAST BODY...
Discussion
re-cast "superfine turbine" body on an "A=OK" base with "govn'r" wheels on FTE axles, "shift kicker" engine, upsidedown "way 2 fast" headers, and a "t bucket" fuel cell,...mocked up ;
WON'T WORK ON MANY BASES BUT THE A-OK BASE USED 2 BLOCKS PINCHED TOGETHER TO ANCHOR THE AXES...
CUT THE STOCK AXLES WITH DYKES, SLIDE THE STOCKERS OUT,
PRE-HEAT THE ANCHOR BLOCKS WITH A CANDLE, SLIDE IN A SMALL KNIFE, WITH THE BLADE UP, PRY THE KNIFE BLADE UP INTO THE ANCHOR'S SEAM, SLIGHTLY WIDENING IT...
CUT THE FTE/FTE II AXLES IN HALF, FILE THE CUT ENDS ROUND, THEN PREP THEM, SLIDE ON YOUR CHOICE OF WHEELS, PUSH THE FTE AXLE INTO THE WIDENED SEAM ABOUT 1/16"...
I AM TRYING TO ATTATCH THE AXLES WITHOUT J.B. RIVITS,
CLEAN THE BASE WELL WITH RUBBING ALCOHOL,
APPLY THE J.B.QUICK OVER A GOOD SIZED AREA FOR A BETTER BITE,
A=OK BASE, FTE AXLES, GOVN'R WHEELS ; FRONT BUMPER CANDLE HEATED, NEEDLENOSE BENT [STRAIGHTENED] FOR LARGER WHEELS...
REMEMBER TO SPACE THE WHEELS FROM THE BASE FOR CLEARANCE.
That's just sneaky......
