Hi Ziggy, not a real jig, a spirit level and by eye. Bolted the axle brackets to the tube brackets then centralised the swinging arm on the axle. Tack welded the axle brackets. Disconnected the swinging arm brackets and welded both brackets inside and outside. Had to do the lot outside as the wife would'nt let me do it in the house.lol  Hope the line drawing made sense . Glad to be able to help  . Glad to see that you got the shaft off the bike, I'll remember the tip from twisted patience for future reference. Take it easy Regards Keith |

Hi mm,
Had trouble with attachment, here is the other pic and a line drawing.... hope that you can decipher it. Not the best drawing in the world, but i'm sure that you can figure it out. No offense intended but sketched this originally for my nearly son in law who is not particularly techy minded.
Regards
Keith

Thanks guys glad you like it, but I can not take credit for all the welding...I just tack things and then have a real welder do the main stuff. Call me a pussy if you like but its a lot safer that way.
Take it easy guys
Regards
Keith

As for fixing the axle to the frame, I've opted for the version you see below, mainly because I can fit the axle to the frame before desiding on it's final position, then I can weld in a roll stop.

Hi Ziggy,
like the look of the mountings too. Maybe i'll use these on the next one that I build. They look a lot easier to make. Nice one mate.
Regards
Keith

Just a minute -I recognise that lumpy welding! That's MINE!
Is anyone actually building anything or just cutting & pasting bits of my previous projects together! I'm losing track but I think that's the frame for Rainbow's GS850 trike, (last year's girlfriend). Nice clear shot of the disc & caliper mounting bracket. Those clamps have a tab added to one side that bolts to a corresponding one on the axle tube to stop it turning or sliding in the clamp by the way.
Just outside Basingstoke on the M3 heading towards Winchester, there's a llama in a field. Thought I was seeing things when I rode past one day & spotted it looking over the hedge!

Brock's just emailed me:
"The home of the British alpaca society is in Ogbourne st. George".
-How would he know that? Why would he know that?
