Nah, you don't get a beer, yet. :p Laced spokes are more complex than that...IIRC, two spokes on one side and two spokes on the other side of the hub, one pair slanting forward, the other slanting back (if 36 spokes, use 10 degrees forward and 10 dgrees back). Once you have those four setup, you can duplicate them around like you did. Anyway, if you want to start a different thread for this, by all means, do it. I also have a buddy that has a nice goodwood green bonnie...gorgeous bike. He's been turning it into a cafe racer but I don't think he took any pictures for me while it was disassembled.

I'm glad you're modeling laced spokes rather than those weird thick spoked mags they put on the newer ones. Also, the newer models have EFI, not carbs but Triumph has a piece to make it look like it has carbs...hehe.

If you start really getting into modeling it, start a new thread...this one should stay more on topic with the spitfire.
