Title: Vendo wheels and handle
Post by: kahonwes on August 28, 2006, 02:07:51 pm
Well I got my Vendo 44 rack and handle in the mail, yeah there 50 years old alright lol.   There in decent condition, nothing to talk about, I need to bend one side straight, one bolt is stripped and take a bit of hammering to get it all right.

Though, they will be very, very easy to copy the wheels down to a exact replica.  I figure should take me no time at all to plasma cut the steel, use my sheet bender to bend it then weld on the angled wheel connectors and then get sone decent rubber wheels.

Anyone ever made a set before?  The handle might take me a smidge longer to pipe bend it to a nice angle without pinching it...  

k - any thoughts anyone, ideas...
