You could try Keith at Metaltorque in Bayswater I know he has an English wheel that he made some hot rod guards on once and his son who works there has a much modified Bug Eye ...... Top guys.

Where did you purchase the wheel from? Chain Reaction? Did you ship it yourself or did the seller arrange shipping?
