Hey guys please note it's all just tacked and in mock up stage more to come though, I'm more than glad to answer any questions regarding this trike..Steve.(stinkey)...I did try and reply earlier to some of your questions?..here goes again...why concern over the weight of the jag axle ? Look how much weight iv taken off the robin the engine came from ?..big discs means it will stop..thin wall tubing,yes in some places..iv been using it for years,makes a change from ash and canvas..(WW2,)..most bike frames are over engineered anyway ?..but if anybody has any doubts just watch this space..

Hi Steve. Interesting build mate. As I said, if it works, it'll open up a lot more building options. Still think the Jag axle's a heavy ol' unit for the little Reliant motor to pull along, but if it works out, it'll make a cool change from Reliant axles. |

No fuss Steve, just curious. We do tend to stick with the tried n tested route, me as much as anyone else. I posted the pics to maybe stimulate some fresh ideas.  |

There will be a judicious amount of gusset/bracket thingys,I do like a gusset !..I didn't get much done yesterday ,I was trying to get my hotrod Y started,after redoing the timing, but the battery ran low,so tinkered on the trike..notice the skilful placing of the spirit level in my photos,looks like I know what I'm doing?
