I built the wood landing gear per drawings and dimensions. The axle is 1.500" ID
with a 1.750 OD.How or where do I find a 40 spoke wheel to fit these dimensions???

I designed mine and had the hubs machined, then had Buchanan's make custom
spokes and lace up the wheels for me. My axle is only 1.500" Outside
diameter though, so those drawings would not work for you.

How about Harley wheels re machined for bushings instead of bearings.
With motorcycle tires,tubes,steel rims,16"diameter. 32#each. How much do yours
weigh?

My wheels (complete with tires and tubes) weigh 25 lbs. apiece. And the
hubs are 6" wide to help resist side loads on landing. The hubs are
designed to accept Cleveland hydraulic brakes.

Tony,
Go to the Westcoastpiet.com site. Look at Gary Boothe's airplane. He has Harley
wheels and they are working good for him.

Very pretty! And a lot lighter. I do have a question though: if you had enou
gh side load to worry about the wheels being damaged, wouldn't a ground loop
follow and ruin your day any way?=F0=9F=98=A7=F0=9F=98=A9

2rn has Harley wheels. Solid 4130 insert designed to fit rear wheel bearings in
a front wheel.
I can attest definitively that the wheel is strong enough to not CAUSE a ground
loop due to premature failure. I did ruin a wheel because of a ground loop.
The ground loop occurred at touch down because of a rudder pedal, front seat
landing, issue, on pavement. As aggregious as a ground loop gets. Honestly,
I'm glad the wheel failed before the gear legs, much easier to replace. And despite
a very comprehensive failure, it stayed intact enough to keep the axle
off the ground.
I think they are the 2.15 x what ever 40 spoke 1999 and earlier soft tail front
wheels.
