Of course, I've measured the castor at full droop so it will be higher than normal running.

It does run a lot of castor, particularly noticeable on this photo attached. Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

Looks a bit flimsy! Bit chunky more like. I was going to make them out of 5mm plate, then decided that I wanted removeable caps so had to thicken the material to take a screw. M5 looked too small so went with M6. I had some 3/8 plate handy so used that. I could thin down the leg part but that would be as useful as shelling broad beans.

I really would anodise those. Otherwise they will look super manky in double quick time. All the fuel rail and inlet on the DON is black anodised.
