The lynch pin looks very neat and tidy, but I agree with Landyacht they usually have a small shoulder on the back of the head that doesn't let them sit flat. This would need correcting to keep the washer flat.

The standard "setup" is 2 times the diameter of the lynch pin of parallel shaft sticking out past the hole, or they are not safe. This doesn't include the chamfer on the end of the shaft.
When we have Ag College audits, by Work Safe, the inspector goes around and make sure all these pins (mainly on 3 point linkage attachments on tractors) comply.
If they don't pass. I have to cut the offending shaft off then and there, with the cordless angle grinder.

So from above info if the lynch pin is 6mm Dia. there needs to be 12+mm past the hole for safety.
By the way the wheels are on a yacht still in construction mode and not yet finished, I just used the axle to show and explain what a lynch pin is, how it works and how simple it was.

just looking at that image Ive realized that the outer part of the washer is going to rub on the outer edge of the bearing,whilst touching the inner part.
given the slop in that type of bearing you will need to significantly reduce the OD of that washer.
BUT then the washer will have a smaller diameter than the spring part of the clip. basically that setup wont work with a side load on those bearings.
sorry

Its virtually the same setup [used R pins then] that I used at Lefroy in I think 1985 (thats the year that Bill Finch and I were well out in front of you) It worked well then.....
Yes the year with screams of protests from the WA clan because Bill and I had used computers to check scaff tube data.

I sailed one of my 85/86 model class 5's last year and it wouldnt keep up with a basic mini now

So that means Bills and My Cl5 then would perhaps be equal to a current day standard Mini then, cos you couldn't keep then or was it our early use of "Super Suits"

Lycra suits...

Wow, that is an outstanding price. I'm impressed!!!!
Will drop by next time I'm in Perth.

I'm crying in my coffee as I organized 21 wheels, 2 weeks ago at much, much more than that price.

Aint that always the case. I'm just gifted.

Many thanks for your reply,
Chook

Make sure you call before you go there Chook. I went there looking for wheels but a certain party or parties have cleaned out all the stock

Hey "Easyroll" are still doing the wheels for $38 plus GST which is an outstanding price for us guys.

I picked up a huge box full of em, I'd ordered, along with 30 plastic bushes for the steering heads, when I was in Perth last week.

Thanks for your support to landsailing fellas.

More importantly, (for us easterners anyway) How much to freight to the east coast?

The wheels are made in Victoria ? there has to be a high volume dealer on the eastern states.

Australia Post parcels, about $11 each sent individually

Earlier mentioned were the Large OD Washers between retainer and nut.. I am using Castrated???? Ah, No that is Castellated Nuts and locking pins as well as Bearing spreader between the Bearings on the axle.. What I have found is that once the Nut is locked up tight against the washer and bearing is that after a very short time the Bearing settles down and wears the Washer to suit its situation this along with a little excessive use of INOX or similar fine spraying Lubricant flushes out any sand and grit helping the Precision Beari9g to last longer. Well it works for me.

I don't know if the price has changed much but I was paying $44 each for fallshaws ($2 dollars dearer)plus $6.27 for the precision bearings = $50.27 plus you have a spare set of deep groove bearings. no plastic bush adaptors needed
