Apparently it rotates ok, he seems to be a guy who knows what he is doing so I took a chance. I have a rebuilt engine, but I do like the look of steves little reliant trike, so I collecting parts for a low cost second build /spares. Andy, up here we need more than kags this past few months, its been terrible - I suppose it could also have been one of those 'orrible safety jackets  |

A good weekend. Worked out how to drive the petrol guage in the GS tacho clock from a reliant sender. So have turned the sender upside down on the feed pipe and blacnked off the pipe. Ground off the old petchck fitting on the tank ans made fitted a new one. Rest of the week will be fitting the new sender to the underside of the tank.
The GS tach is being removed and the various warning lights fitted to the face, just ordered those.
Had the engine running again the newly run exhaust seems to work ok ( a little loud? ) so that has worked out ok.
Going to order the remaiing steel for the frame today - So next weekend I can hopefully finish tacking it all up, just in time for my Brother to weld it properly while he is home from Spain.

Just reporting in Chaps. Another round of busy, busy, busy with work, but the frame progresses well. The stainless mudguard has arrived (rear wheel cover from 4x4 and looks like it will work in a treat. If all goes well i'll take a piccy at the weekend.

I used a stainless wheel cover for my rear guards, cut it into the required lengths then trimmed them with 5mm round bar to give a nicer edge as the existin edge was a little sharp although you couldnt cut yourself on it |

Some people here in Essex have them but I`ve always thought they wobbled a bit too much when going down the road, and that was after being strengthened a bit.

Moved things on a little this past view days. Here are some pics (for Merv!)
The rear "roll bar" is c**p - not at all what I want and is coming off.
