Front Wheel Spindle...Tin Hub

Hi Les, the spindle you want is, overall length 8.5 inches with a raised centre spacing of 2 5/8 inch width, with 3.5 inch to spacing on one side and 2 5/8 from the other side of spacing to end of spindle.The threaded portion is 1 3/4 on both sides. the thread is 9/16 x20tpi. The bosses should be interference fit for a 6202 bearing.These are all approx measurements but should be ok to identify from your collection of spindles.I can photograph one if you cannot identify from my description...let me know....John P

Info no good Les....?

....please say hello when you visit lots of friends are made this way....

As you recently posted re the Bristol Show Les, and quite right too....but surely the same applies on here when people have tried to offer helpful information to a query....surely it's just 'good form' to post a simple response/acknowledgment....

This one too....http://greeves-riders.org.uk/forums/...ead.php?t=6207

Sorry Les, but I just felt I needed to say something following your post. The forum benefits from people's support too, and some us try hard to do that.

Hi Brian,
Had a quick look at your previous posts. Very helpful.

Now if you really want to make me fall off the chair please help me find a drawing of the front wheel/spindle on a Mk2 QUB

Chin up my good friend.

Hi Craig,

I aready had a look for you when you first mentioned the front wheel spindle issue ages ago, but no joy I'm sad to say...... I have very little on the later bikes, Giffons/QUB especially.....

Have you tried asking Rob? I know he's got lots on his plate and is working his **** off on behalf of the club at the moment, but I'm sure he'd have a look for you...

Unless, of course, anyone on here can help....?

Good hunting bud.

Brian.

Further to my query regarding measurements, with John's help{thanks John} I can now identify that I can adapt a rear spindle,which I have to hand,as I have to farm out this adaption I will remove a front spindle from another of my bikes to provide a pattern.Thanks. Les.
