Not too shabby. Are you using Solid Works?

Yes, I'm just getting up to speed with it. The first set of drawings was done with AutoCad.

Right now I have them at $79, jegs is $89. And you don't need a tire. The metal ones are nice, but out of reach for someone to use only once.

Mike,

I agree, I only did what I did because for one I love designing and building gadgets. The other is I have so many friends that either build street machines or race cars, I thought it would be helpful to have one around. Again it is being built somewhat as a favor. If I can produce them a good bit under the 500 the other metal one is, maybe it would be a good alternative to the one you have. Mainly I was shocked that the designs ended up so close. Obviously the principle has to be the same, but the form ended up so close.

We used the Wheelrite and simulated the tire with the wire on the end... it actually worked pretty well. You have to be careful when you bend the wire so it's the same dimensions as the tire, but it works. I had also dreamed up the $500 version, which led me to find the Wheelrite.

When I get mine, I am going to figure out between my buddy and what it would take to build them. When I do if the cost is reasonable and alot better than 500 I'll let evryone know. We will see.
