I now have a VIN  Yep DVLA have issued a number I know it's silly, it's just a series of alpha-numerics and its not the MSVA or V5 but this somehow makes the trike official. |

Number all stamped up on the headstock  Local garage wants £30 to put their rubber stamp on the confirmation bit  I think that's a bit steep so will ask around. I don't mind paying for someones time but £30 for less than 15 minutes

Oh #######
Left the trike idling for 15 minutes while setting up the carb etc. and it boiled over. Always knew that the tiny fan fitted to the waterpump might not hack it. Have fitted an electric one now which means I'll have to make a grill to hide it cos it's pugly. Also can't find anywhere to fit a thermostatic fan switch, so will probably fit a manual switch to the handlebars. Any ideas anyone?
Also the ###### tank sealer is starting to lift.

Wasn't happy about the plain vin plate I made, so made this one. Better but might try again. Depends on how bored I am tomorrow morning.

No, not gonna say!
Well OK then, Ferric Chloride.
Mask off the areas/ letters you want raised then dip the brass or copper into Ferric Chloride. This you can get from Maplins. It's used to etch circuit boards. Dont forget to mask off the back and edges of the plate as well though. Humbrol paint is good for masking. For lettering I use Letraset.

I'm using up old stock. Due to the length of time it takes to etch a decent depth, I think masking tape would absorb the acid. Pinstripe tape might do though but have not tried it. |
