Today I cannot find the piece of chair I had yesterday; I have a feeling that my crazy sister may have taken it or moved it (since it was in the living room on the floor by the front wall, rather than with anything specific of mine).
So a little more digging and I found a bracket for an alternator, with what appears to be a 10mm hole for it's pivot that should work as the start of an axle hole, if I am careful in filing it out flat without expanding it. If I screw up filing I can always weld on one edge and then refile that.
As you can see, I also found some dropouts I'd cut off a couple of BMX frames, originally to put onto CrazyBike2 or some other project for a middrive usng a hubmotor. They're not as thick as I'd like, at only about 3mm, but they are quite long/deep and can have a bolt and support welded on each side of the dropout, and a nut used to tighten that as a clamping dropout.
I have three to choose from, so could put one on each end of the axle, maximizing the clamping force.
I remembered also that I have similar but much thicker, maybe 5mm, BMX dropouts welded to the legs of CrazyBIke2's original fork, which itself came from the ReCycle 'bent project I never finished.
They were put there originally so I could use a 20" wheel in the 24" fork, without changing it's length/etc. So if it comes down to it, I can always cut those off that fork and use them. Rather not, but can.
