Hiya -& welcome to the forum  ;)
No plans or drawings I'm afraid. The only snaps I've got of Gypsy & Doro's trike are these. Any use? It's basically a widened standard swingarm, built by Alex Windrush, ex of 100% Biker magazine. I think he covered it in the mag as a feature trike. Anyone got the back issues?

Mine's a GT550 - almost exactly same as a 750 just a tad smaller.  It's got a Reliant axle shortened one side so the propshafts match up, and uses the original bike suspension.

Good to see you've been keeping busy Mr Pig!
Nice GS -I wouldn't mind something like that myself. Obviously you'll be taking a camera along with you & keeping us all informed of your progress.  ;)

Nowt wrong with box section my swing arm has lasted about 6 years and I only had to weld the cross brace once after a fracture next to the weld, seems ok now.

Look forward to seein' the pictures.
