Wanted wheels on my new WSM so here goes:
1. Went to Lowe's and purchased some 3 inch castors with locks.
2. Took off all three aluminum legs from my WSM.
3. Marked and drilled 5/16 holes in each of the legs at the bottom bend.
4. Put it all back together. (upgraded the bolts to stainless hex cap screws)
5. Took my WSM and put it on the floor in the garage with room around each side to work.
6. Got an old cardboard box and cut it open flat and placed it under the WSM.
7. Placed the WNS on top of the cardboard so I can template the leg holes.
8. Used a sharpie and marked each hole on the cardboard.
9. From there I placed the castor base on the cardboard and make sure each dot was in the center of the castor.
10. Traced all three castors with a sharpie. Be sure to do mounting holes for castors.
11. Uses a straight edge and connect all three castors with lines that were parallel.
12 Took template to my buddies CNS and had it cut out of 1/4 inch aluminum. Put billets in each leg just for looks.
13. CNC drilled all mounting holed and even counter sunk the hole that would go to each leg of the WSM.
14. Once done looked up a local powder coater and had it coated gloss black. ($15.00)
15. Used stainless hardware for all bolts. Used three cap nuts for each of the legs and some Lock-Tite.
15. Very steady and rolls and locks like factory.
