Hiya Pete, Nice to see you back. Was beginning to think you'd gone into hibernation for the Winter in that shed of yours. |

hi dude, yes ive been busy or at least when my aches and pains let me. After I had bolted up the gearbox/axle/suspension my shoulders/hands were aching a bit  just doing the wiring now, ive just done the little loom for the dashpanel. A mate is doing the main stuff for me, all done in unplugable sections. the headlight/spotlights/front indicators are on one plug/socket. the l/hand switchgear is on another, the r/hand on another. the lights/indicators on each of the rear guards all wired into another plug. if i need to do any work to any part all i do is unplug it and remove it from the trikes main loom. My mate Moff thought that up and made a wiring diagram for it. smukin fart  |

Never understood wiring. Mechanical stuff I can usually understand -if it moves you can figure out how it works, but wiring just sits there -refusing to work. Steve wired my green trike up first time round, then I needed to take the bars off & found there weren't any connections in the loom. Had to cut every wire & reconnect them afterwards.

And I bet you can build a trike in less time that it would take Manky to put that gazebo up!! |

I can't even spell Gazebo.
That looks suspiciously like camping to me.

Lookin' good young Peter. Nice to see something a little different from the usual V Dub format. Nice professional looking job. Who did the seats? Glenn Moger? Got to get in touch with him to cover the exposed foam on my Jaguar sofa.

Just noticed the feet shaped chequer plate panels on the running boards! We could do with some techy features for the site Pete. Just basic stuff -how to use various tools, how to build or adapt useful garage equipment, that kinda thing. Your tardis like shed would be the perfect setting for it. Fancy jotting down a few lines on how you put together your hydraulic work bench? Chuck in a couple of piccies & we could post it in the Trike Tech bit. |
