That's a good way to form a core box, where did you get that idea from I'm still waiting for some sizes for the bearing housings to go on top of that pattern, also any news on the kinky one? What was the outcome of that facebook message about printing the flywheel pattern?
I'll draw something up between the two spoke options.There are still other options once design is sortedFinal option is to make one to the Patent drawing with STRAIGHT spokes
Now All I need to do is convince you to make it smaller then I could knock one up like this steel jobbie I did this morning
