Everything is looking good. :thumbsup:

Are you going to use crush sleeves where your axle craddle bolts through the aluminum tube?

At least use self locking nuts?

Grommets or a piece of rubber hose to keep the burr from cutting the wires? Did I even need to ask? :R

You are making good progress!
