What diameter is it? I've got a fair amount of 1" steel round you are welcome to if you pay postage.

About 9mm diameter I think.
Thanks for the offer, but I'll try to see what I can find in the storerooms first.
So I got a bit of work done today when really I should be revising. Got the wedge completely made from scratch out of offcuts of wood and aluminium, and the fixings all sorted, as well as some vinyl for aesthetics. Also got the fixings for the chain attached, all that I need now is some sort of weight to go on the end of the chain, combination lock there for a visual aid.

Loving the way our kits are being adapted and used in conjunctions with their owners imaginations now, that's really what we had hoped for when we came up the with Scot-Bots and the wedge and spike are two of the the things that I actually had on the original drawings as add on suggestions.
So I fixed up Tankslapper today, put a new motor in, and it's all running smoothly which is pretty good.
I took apart the old drill motor to see what I could salvage, and apart from the screws and a few of the gears I kept the actual motor unit. Is it any good or should I just throw it? If I keep it what would it be good for, saw, drum, spinning bar, etc?
Also, I still have got to remake the wedge and flail, which won't be too difficult hopefully. Going to buy a better chair with bigger links instead of using one from my garage. And I'm going to mount the spike differently so it'll be more secure and take a few more hits.
