Just done a little past few days. Finished the rear brake mechanism, and fitted the horn. Got a hazard switch and fitted it into the instrument pod.

So today i started on the rear light pods. I wanted to use some lovely old glass lenses i got some time ago in individual tubes. But then I realised I was taking a big risk with the MSVA. so to be honest
I bottled it!
Plan B - fit E marked LED lights. I considered hamburgers, as the trike is curvy, but decided against tht as they would be too round! So slightly curved ractangular on in hand, i destroyed it a little by cutting the box off the back!

Doesnt look much at the moment, but i made up steel pods to take the cut down lights. These have plenty of gentle curves and follow the frame (sort of!)
Once i apply a bit of filler and a lot of elbow grease I hope to nake them look natural and flowing.

Thanks guys! Finished the tail light fixings off today. Cut slots in the top and tacked a couple of lugs to the cowls that will engage.
And araldited a plate with a with a nut welded to it onto the bottom of the lights
So to fit the lights i offer them up from below, then push the base in and insert a small bolt from below.

Then I started on the rear mudguards. Cut a hole for the front marker light and mocked up the look i want on the arch with sticky paper and card!

Bent up some 10mm cooper pipe to form the lip of the arch and fixed it into place with glassfibre and expoxy.
The wire for the front marker light will run through the copper.
The tools various are to keep the pipe flat and in place
