Front wheel detail .

The two eyelets located on the vertical part of the mount are castings welded on.
I cant draw them with any useful accuracy without doing a lot of work.

hope all that detail is useful

Default Gallows mount

Wow, thanks everyone for all the replies, photos, and Gina, the plans. I wasn't expecting such a wide response. That's great and it all made total sense to me.

I now know what is required for this and I have a mate coming over tomorrow with some pipe. He has a pipe bender and so hope to make a start on it soon.

Thanks again.

Default Gallows mount

Hi all,

I have made some progress on this working off Gina's plan.

Gina (or anyone else who can assist); can you tell me please, what is the purpose of the captive bolt and the two eyelets on the pipe, shown on your plan? Do the eyelets just help to feed the cable through the centre of the pipe?

Excuse the ignorance. I am just trying to get my head around how it all works.

I have a couple of pulleys arranged so the mounts for these will be next.
