Me too please Ron. Mine is badly flogged out and needs repairing.
I believe the bolts that attach the stand to the lugs were either 3/8" or 5/16". Does that refer to the hole size or the nut on the back?
Any idea when the change occurred?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for the hijack John.
Hi Ron,
I would appreciate that too, was talking with Ian on Saturday about this as I have made the two replacement bushes and will be mounting them on a shaft to assure that they stay aligned when fitted.
Ian had a different way he had done it which sounded good too, but I was just trying to do a sketch of the original position of the rings before I cut them out,
Cheers
Darren
Email sent! Not sure what you mean by "when did the change occur"? Ron
Ron I thought I read somewhere on the forum that the size of the bolt changed at some stage.
I've been reading a lot of the old posts over the last couple of weeks so I'm not sure were I got it from.

P.S. Email received. Thank you
I have recently carried out a similar repair. I might welded my repair section in place. It seems to have taken to the frame. I would not recommend filling an ovaled hole with mig weld as it is very hard and not easy to drill. Regards Jon
I remember cutting out all the part up to the bulge (in which the wheel's shaft slides), leaving a few mm. free though, machining a new piece out from steel with matching thickness, grinding a phase (or angle?) on both new piece and frame, allowing to be filled with weld.
It is now stronger then in was in its original state.
Mark, the holes were elongated. I drilled them oversize, and braised in aircraft hydraulic tubing, sanded
down sides and then holes reamed to correct bolt size.
