Step 8Fabrication of the parts: Wheel Dropouts
From the 3/16" X 1" flat stock
*Cut four pieces 1 1/2" long.
*With a nail or a punch and hammer, make a small dent in the middle of the material (3/4" and 1/2" from the edges). Put the piece in a vice, or clamp it really well. Drill a 1/8" pilot hole, and then enlarge to 3/8".
*Using a hacksaw, cut in from the end to meet the hole. The slot should be 3/8" wide. Make sure your wheel axles fit in the slots. Finish the slot with a file.
*File off the sharp edges.
*Repeat, to make a total of 4 dropouts.
