got to agree with that. spend ages doing something late in the build and it feels like your going nowhere. can be spirit breaking. |

Been quetly busy making slow progress on the front end. Work in progress is: - The electronic dash with smiths clocks nestling in between
Handlebar pull backs
New headlight mount
By the end of the weekend it should be together to some degree, and i'll put some pics up  Bought a lovely 7" bates style case, and fitted a retro domed lucas headlight (designed for mini type conversions, so it takes modern halogen bulbs) -I have tosay I like its looks. |

'Tis true - SHMBO decided I needed to put the new landing floor in ober the old staircase, then plaster, rewire and fit a new rad there, plus move all the others about! So no trike time past few weeks.
On the good side i got the handlebars sorted and the front end is looking better, and my Bro is coming on Sunday so we can get a full day in (hes a good welder!)

Split the diff yesterday to take a look. Ouch, the thing had been under a stationary car for years and water had got in. The bottom of the crown wheel is very corroded. So I split the axle I got for spares and - whoo hoo - crown and pinion in great condition, so a swap in is in progress.
Now a question - there seems to be no sealant between the diff casings on either axle. I really want to run some hermetite replacement in there cos it just does not seem right to leave it dry, but I am bothered. Does the diff really rely on a push fit only to seal it?

I had a very thin paper gasket on mine but I used a sealant as it leaked without, also when I bought my "this axle will be perfect for you" I found that the diff was welded! Not impressed , love the frame work chap
