Thanks for accepting my request to join.
I have recently retired having spent 40 years behind a desk .
I wanted to start a project that was completely different so took up woodworking having last done anything at school 40 odd years ago.
I start to design and build a pedal car for my granddaughter and although had a few issues along the way and 6 months later I am nearly finished.
I am however stuck on the way forward on the rear crank when I am trying to connect it to some bike wheels .
The crank is 10mm mild steel but the wheels In the Uk seem to all have 9mm axels . I need to be able to join the 2 and then make them fixed so that they will turn when the pedals go round. I need fabricated a 10mm to 9 mm reducer as can’t source one anywhere . And then need someone to weld the existing axel to the wheel bearing so it’s fixed .
Any advice on someone who could make the reducer and weld the wheel fixed in Essex or London would be greatly appreciated
Pics of my project attached
Thanks
Dan
