them mud gaurds have turned out pretty good andy, a little tip curve the rear of the rider seat more you WILL slide back on it, ive had to make two little bush's to make the rear higher on mine as i didnt go over board on the curve and thought it would be plenty Tongue  to compensate i now ride with my left/clutch foot on the passenger foot rest,it keeps me on the seat and is actually a bloody comfy ride position for my strange self Grin looking good though mate keep at it Wink

Hi OAB. I planned to add a small arced back rest, about 2" high. Would you go higher?

So that's the stainless 4 x 4 stainless steel spare wheel cover? I've seen the ad on Ebay saying you could cut them in half to make trike guards, but didn't realise how wide they were.

Yes, I *May* use inertia reeel 3 point belts, or may plump for 2 point fixing and ditch the roll bar. Not sure yet!

The foot area will be formed from a sheet of some form, probably stailnless, with holes opprox 1" diameter in it, or possibly some form of swooping slots nibbled out, not sure yet Smiley

They come in various widths up to about 10" if I recall correctly. I bought the widest he had as my tyres are pretty wide.  Youb dont get a full 360 as there are a few mounting holes where the circle splits.

be aware that widths given also include the 2 sides. ie: 10" maybe actually 8" wide with 2 x 1" sides
