I dunno Steve---but I think that cage should be put in the showroom and you'll have to build another one for Willy.....

Ha ha ha, Dave there is no way i'm making another one, this one took way to long to finish.

Well today started off good as i got the tubes i had been waiting for to fit my new front tyres, I'm using Protrac 560 x 15's, I did try firestone 560 x 15's but for some strange reason the Protracs are 1" taller ???



I set off to the tyre fitters all excited, they took special care of the rims in fitting the tyres but on the second rim when they inflated the tyre a large piece of the bead just pinged off



Now i knew one wheel had been repaired but evidently not yery well !!!

I found someone nearby that is experienced in welding Magnesium so hopefully tomorrow it will all be repaired, The guy took one look and said someone had repaired it with ally TIG rod and it had cold cracked. He offered me some magnesium rods to do it myself but i declined as having never welded magnesium i thought practising on my wheels wasn't a great idea !!!

Anyway here are the pics, I really like the tall look.

It's a good thing it failed now rather than when you are making a pass. Yikes!!

For sure Lynn !!!
