..that I have had more "lathe fun" today and my threaded parts are all ok.
So I now have 2 freewheel adapters that thread on perfectly fine; one LH and one RH.
I have not drilled the centres out for axles yet as the jury is out as to whether they will be 16mm or 19mm.
The next task will be to make a number of short collars to go over M8 bolts on either side of a central drive-sprocket where the bolts lock the two freewheels (L & R) together.
This will mean BOTH rear wheels of the trike will be driven but they will be able to run at different rates when cornering and this will prevent any tyre scrub issues.
I am pleased that a total numbskull like me can actually do this sort of stuff.

Its brake pads, not undercrackersSo why not just swap inside to outside then you would get 4 changes worth
