Are you stressing the axle mounting it like that? The tubes are quite thin into the diff housing I'd be worried !
If you look at the pics of the frame to axle mount on my original trike you will see that mounted to the axle tubes with just 2 U bolts each side towards the hubs. The new one has 2 bolts through the spring mount each side approximately the middle of the axle tubes and then a single U bold further towards the hub each side. I would have thought this is a lot stronger than my original? |

started making a removable piece to bolt in where i had to cut out to make room to make the axle removable. cut a bit of solid bar then squared off for the last inch, slotted it in the frame tube .

made another big mistake today,
went and ordered the stainless braided brake pipes today, one nearly 5ft from landy clutch master to first caliper, double banjo and another 4 1/2 foot over to other caliper. never asked the price, thought cant be that dear.. 20, 30 quid perhaps. can take it out of young uns new shoe money.. had to sit on the shop floor, 75 quid.. the guys were very nice and made them there and then tho.
young uns feet will hurt after walking to school in braided hoses...

started on the caliper reseal last night. didn't realise how many moving parts inside. struggling to get the circlip back inside the main pot while compressing the spring with the cover over it. also got a seal left and dont know where it goes. had the whole thing stripped to the bones. could be for a similar model that the kit fits.

found a tool for changing grinder disc was ideal for screwing pistons on n off. welded a bit of leaverage to make it easier. second tool was to get amp out of the dodge ram. took our kid a hour n half to get last bolt out from under the dash.
