The 1/4" thick UHMW plastic bottom is the last piece to assemble. All rivets are A5 because all materials joined are 0.125 thick. 100MM scooter wheels will be attached on the rear outside of the 1"X2"X0.125 aluminium rails with a 5/16" bolt through the rail to make the idle wheel axle. This wheel prevents damage to the UHMW plastic when landing on paved runways..remember the bungee is pulling the nose of the ski up so the tail of ski has to go down. To attach the 4130 steel axle assemblies to the aluminium rails a 7ft piece of 1 1/4"X1 1/4"X0.125 square steel tubehas the side with the welded seam removed, and cut into 1 ft lengths to make a "U" shaped mount for the axles assemblies to weld to. This steel "U" tube will be riveted with (9) A5 rivets on both sides of the rail.
