Drive System Part 7: Outer wheels


Bolts are everything :)

Gave up waiting and went to Home Depot to purchase M6 X 40mm bolts... they didn't have any left and had 50mm instead.  So I purchased those... what the heck little long...

Finding not a lot of room and not easy to remove the drive carriage from the cheese wheel and its very hard to get in there to work... might need an angled screw gun (small) for the future work.

This stuff is expensive... 1.29 per?!?!  X 8 is $10.00 easy.  The bolts are Philips head round button tops. they didn't have flat top bolts.

you can see the bolt a little high through the assembly arm where the wheel is.

Got one side completed... now to flip it over.  Note:  Had to angle the carriage so it exposed enough of the underside of those arms so I can screw the bolts through the bottom.

Both sides are completed and it fits like a glove.

Good close up of the wheels installed.
