well had good news today , dvla have issued me with a VIN number for the trike , just got a couple of things more to do like , led markers on the arches , got to purchase a alarm , get front mud guard sprayed , and tidy electrics , then book it for mvsa , also the wheels on the trike will be for sale as I would like wolfrace alloys on it {old school} I have four wheels like the ones on the trike so will split them if need be , also have a brand new mudguard that I bought and didn't like , I think its off a wide glide as it wont fit a bandit front end , haven't been able to save photos of rebuild that were stored on phone so will just get piccys of work finished and post later, could anyone tell me what vehicles have the same stud pattern as reliant so I could start looking for some alloys , thanks  |

Slowly getting there then Goose.
Wheel stud pattern is the same as the classic Mini (10" & 12") MG Midget / Sprite, (13") Morris Minor(14"). 4x 4" or 4x 101.6mm.
By old school Wolfrace wheels I assume you are thinking of Super Slots. May have a problem getting the amount of positive offset you have at present. Just means the trike ends up wider and you have to remount the rear mudguards etc.

well a few weeks ago I got my trike back as it was stored in a friends garage , he said he would re-wire it and other bits to help get it ready for sva , well I thought bthe wiring had been done by a three year old , wires twisted together and wrapped in green tape , hes lost the brake and clutch pedals and various other bits , I did consider getting the gas axe out , after calming down thought lets start again , I purchased 11 core wire and started the re-wire , but got It done except the alternator , eventually got it started so after a year of not running it sounded nice , no bangs or rattles ,I got a set of brake pedals out of a Mercedes sprinter and started to modify them ,bought another handbrake cable and ratchet just have to fit it ..
