Making a rear wheel out of a front wheel - looks like it will work

What I am doing is making a rear wheel out of a front wheel
1) Cut the hub off a junk rear wheel (1 that fits your sprocket)
2) on one side of the front wheel shaft remove the bearing and slide the hub over the shaft - but leave a little nub on the hub - ha
3) screw on your tapered bearing guide and a lock nut.
Thats the basics - you can drill through the hubs spoke holes into the sprocket - and just add screws to hold in place.
4)I used 2 rubber gaskets on the outside and 1 inner.
It got dark so will have to wait till tommorrow to finish tightening the bolts -
did a quick check for clearance on the bike - looks good so far..

Everything is working great so far - Removed the regular bicycle chain so no way to pedal - but all you need is a slight slope and there are plenty of those.... so it works - I just didnt want to spend 80 bucks on a rear wheel off ebay - at least I know this one has a straight rim...
