measured the width of the tyre and dived the rest of the width on the tin to drill 3 lines of holes on, I used this strap to get a rough straight line, I then pot riveted the tyre to the can
found the center of the bottem and the lid of the tin with this set square (very useful)
cut some threaded rod to length and placed two bolts locked these off and a washer at both the bottom and the top of the tin inside
I then drilled a hole to fit a bung in the lid and hammered the lid on, fixing a washer and bolt tight to the tin
Test outside putting dry sand into the tin worked well, sand came out as a pretty much constant line. Attachment followed the movement of the bike pretty well, bit cumbersome round the corners
placed four bolts on the threaded rod either side of the tin so that the attachment doesn't get caught
- Attachment, attaches to the side of my bike rack as it can quickly be attached andd detached with the butterfly screws
- can also be folded down by unscrewing the black tube which keeps the two rods either side parallel
- bends in metal to try and keep it more rigid
I made the attachement so I could utilise it for other extensions.
I found an old cast aluminium rake, I bent the metal at the end of the attachment and drilled holes through this and the rake to attach it with four bolts and butterfly screws
