Sorry paulywombats, but you're a braver man than me - I could trust a new bottom yoke from billet, but welding a cast steel item of unknown metalugical (is that a real word) quallities and hoping it will hold would be a step too far for me. It might be whoever did this has done loads before and tested enough to be sure, in which case all well and good.
All the best.

Thanks for you comments Mini. You are of course quite correct, so with this in mind I've now added a couple of cable ties. Better to be safe than sorry.

In these days of plastic, wire ones are getting harder to find and expensive, so tend only to be used on high end vintage lash ups and aerials.
Nicely done Pauly.
My trike has heavy steering as it was designed for raked girders which I didn't like the look of once I'd made them. But as I get older they may get fitted. That or leaf sprung, leading link forks.

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

I must admit the steering on my trike is so light..with a tiny bit of wobble,as yet I've not tried the new wider tyre..still sorting out the front brake..( lack of funding
) but feels like it's gripping when moving around the yard?

With a few hundred miles now added, I feel the revs are too high. Hopefully the 2.78:1 ratio diff will help.
