Bolt in replacement wheels?

Really just interested in the real McCoy so let me know if you want to strike up a deal.  Be fun to do some machine work.

Thanks for the offer but, I think I'm going to hang on to the air cleaner. The simplex I bought is really in good shape and although it has some mix and match parts it's really pretty complete. I think I'm going to try and go back as original as I can.  That other frame that I have needs everything so I might try 3d printing some of the parts out. They can be printed in carbon fiber so they'll be strong enough and with a coat of paint will probably pass muster.

I'm ashamed it took this long but I seem to have zero spare time to do these things. I don't see how you guys do it.

Anyway... Here is a picture of a Worksman wheel with a simplex axle in it. Also, it's got sealed bearings that fit.  The only thing I have left to do it drill out the hole in the drum brake assy to accept the larger axle and get a few 7/16-26 BSC jam nuts to hold it all together. Effectively, it's a "bolt in" replacement wheel. I've got the rear axle as well and I need to do the rear wheel. I need to make sure everything "centers" when mounted but it looks OK with my eyeball.

PRIORITIES.  You just need to explain to your boss that this work "thing" is cutting into your "personal time" at home.  I'm sure he'll understand.
