I made a miscalculation!
Papa Smurf is always telling me to "Measure Twice and Cut Once"!
I tried to blame Handy Smurf but he said I just do the cutting, you do the measuring!
The miscalculation has occurred on the rear mudguards/fender in that either the inside diameter of the guard is too small for the wheel diameter.
It's a cutting the guards using two [2] holesaws into old Aussie Hardwood so I've got out of jail by adding an internal rim to the guard.
The guards are made as one full piece with a snug fitting blank though the back to make a dish.
The will be cut in half later.
I'll use a forstner bit to hollow out the centre of the wheels later too.
Rear Mudguards/Fenders - 130mm x 122mm [plus the inner rim] by 76mm wide
Rear Wheels - 90mm dia x 75mm wide
Front Mudguards/Fenders - 120mm x 100mm by 65mm wide
Front Wheels - 85mm dia x 45mm wide.
