Just finished one of the wheels and the engine, thanks to Robert Reid for the detailed photos.
The spokes were attached using a combination of solder and two part epoxy resin. To help fit the tyre I first heated it in very warm water and it slipped on without any problems.
Sorry about the photos on their side, my tablet or the forum has a mined of their own.

Ken,
wonderfully built motor & wheels. I did not build my engine. Will start after all wheels with it. Your pictures of the engine will help me. Thanks.
Best regards Michael

Your engine is stunning!
Later today, I'll try and post some more chassis pictures. The Alpine Eagle chassis is now about done, awaiting wiring. Radiator arrived from re-coring yesterday. A work of art in and of itself.
Cheers,
RPR

Ken:
Absolutely beautiful!
The only suggestion I would make is that the 'block' where the wires come out of the magneto was made of 'Red Fiber" insulating material. It gets painted sort of a reddish brown.
This is a completely different magneto. But shows the insulating block in its true color
Amazing work!!!
I will post pictures of brakes and linkages this week!
Cheers,
RPR

Well done in the timing pointer, BTW!
I had forgotten to make that until I saw your build...

Hello Ken, that is a magnificent build, very 'tidy', (welsh word for quality). Your attention to the fine detail does you great credit.....Mick.
