Thanks guys.
Been a bit busy with other things recently. Not been able to leave the house today, so the Deliverance badge has been replaced by the Olds badge I cast earlier.

Worked out what the last pic is ? My son and daughter have been bugging me about the trike being a single seater. So have decided to make a QD pillion conversion. I have already made two saddles, a small, cool looking one and a larger comfy one. With the small one fitted there is room behind, to fit a pillion pad mounted to the front of the pickup bed and the frame beneath the saddle. Luckily I still have enough of the same leather (as long as I don't mess up  ) First stage completed, the pillion foot peg mounting. This bolts to the gearbox mounting plate and can be fitted/removed with just three nuts without disturbing the gearbox.

Wrought iron and steel plate, pillion pad mounting. The claw goes around the frame cross tube, under the saddle.

 Seat base with thread inserts fitted and the molded leather facing ready for stitching. The base is 3/8" ply and will be given a couple of coats of waterproof varnish. This has cost nothing but time as all materials were left overs. I like cheap projects

Looking good Olds, does it state 2 seats on the V5, or have you got to get it checked over again.

At the moment it down as, seating capacity 1, but I should be able to get this amended by sending back the V5C with it noted in the changes section.
Will have to also inform the insurance company of course.

Nearly finished. Got the foam cut and the sewing done. All thats left to do now is trim the edges a bit, make a channel section to locate over the front of the pickup bed and then, the hard bit, trying to match the colour of the saddle. Cant remember what stain and polish I used. |

Thanks. This is not meant to be permanent, just fitted as required. So didn't bother with a rolled edge to the leather ( makes sewing harder ) and the stitching is not as neat as it could be. The radius of the corners is about as small as I could go with stretching and shrinking.
