I'm pretty sure it is a small spring loaded pin, it should just push in and then you can draw it off Regards Stephen

So I'm more or less just cleaning this up now whilst doing that I was thinking about how to achieve a sand cast look... This is what I came up with, first picture is just dressed up a bit with die grinder and a rotary burr the second is after a wee bit play with a needle gun Thoughts would be appreciated Regards Stephen

To be fair I have not picked up the phone yet but I have had a wander around their website regards Stephen

I did have a brief look, just did not find anyone shipping out of the States Regards Stephen

Actually seen them Mike I was hoping to get 40", starting to look like I'm going to have to go the 17" rim route to get a decent flexible sidewalls Part of me is wondering if the tyres I bought are quite old and have lost a degree of flexibility will need to see if they have an age marking Appreciate you looking Regards Stephen

Roughing out the other side 20240109_161328.mp4 Regards Stephen

I had an issue with my front ARB not holding air new O rings sorted it out Regards Stephen

Agreed, A great deal of what I've done on this build is a first time have a go, I firmly believe in " nothing ventured, nothing gained " also " you don't know until you try ". However the above is also backed up by having been an apprentice fitter, leading to time served and working on repairing industrial equipment for 22yrs until I moved into production, this helped to lay the foundations of some of the skills. I've been playing with metal for around 45 yrs in one form of another so I have acquired some skill over that period. Also I'm fortunate to have some free cash to buy equipment, I don't smoke or drink, my idea of a good night out is a cuppa in the garage.....lol I would say that the main thing in my metal armament is I am extremely interested in any type of metal smithing unless there is copper wire involved.....lol Fridge is right you should never say "I couldn't do that" if you've never even tried I don't do computers, the reality is I'm just not interested enough to learn the skills, I joke on here about it being a different language, but the reality is I'm just not interested in learning about it when there is so much I haven't learnt about my passion for metal work Remember also that we are only limited by our imagination and imagination can be made real and working, my mog axles have alowed me to develop skills I wish I'd tried or had 35 yrs ago, but that's life Regards Stephen

I'm aware of that, however a couple of years is not long to wait..... Regards Stephen

WOW, many thanks to all of you... My Mog axle thread managed over 250,000 views today... When I started the build thread I never anticipated or expected as much interest...
