Rear uprights

Can you please post some pictures of your rear uprights. Im trying to avoid anything using a tube down the center. Has anyone got any examples using just plate steel.

Thanks

Mikkel

No tube used on mine, but i did use the Sierra ABS hub carriers, which was a bit of overkill. May give you an idea though. Cheers Ray

The rusty bits laying on the floor are all 3mm rolled plate. The hub mounting could be either the one from the Sierra suitably modded, or a piece of 8 or 10 mm steel. Cheers Ray

I made mine from 5mm steel plate. The dimensions are more or less the same as the avon but with a few refinements
