Oi, that's not sugar in me tea, it's grinding dust.  Nothing worse than gritty cucumber sarnies. Taz remodelled Loony's office as a tea room, complete with serving hatch, & it seems to have stayed that way. Pops & Pot Noodles. Perfect. |

It's slipped down to page 4 of General Discussion Bobbi.
Don't worry, it's still on the go, just very slowly. I'm dropping some parts off at the powder coaters when they re-open next week. You could do me a favour actually. Is the MSVA guy still posting on the 100% Biker forum? If you still visit there, I need a contact number for him, to check a few points on the trike build.

just as Shaun said, I was trying to find one to measure before posting but I also think you might be in for a little bit of work there

I think we might need to narrow the back axle and dare I say it, it may be easier in the long run to ditch the front axle off the sherpa and buy a new I beam or drop tube axle. Im worried that it will ride too high on the front as we can only kick the frame up so high and the axle has no drop in it at all. And no you cant have any pics of the axles in place cos we buried them down the side of the shop behind the remenants of the pop!

If Mr Lunatic's at his workshop over the weekend I'll try & get over there to dig an axle out from it's hiding place under a small mountain of car parts. 6 inches wider means only 3 inches wider each side, so not hugely oversize compared to the original. I'd still like to go with the disc braked Sherpa front beam if possible -a new drop tube jobbie seems a needless expense really. I was trying to recycle all the bits I've got knocking about if I can.

Ill be there. We will be painting though. The only problem I see is that by my estimates the chassis will have to be at least 18" off the floor to use the sherpa axle hung below it. Then with the channel and the engine in I reckon the engine down to the exhaust headers will have to stick through the bonnet. Or if you mount the spring behind the axle and end the chassis before the axle you may have to run the engine so far back that you dont fit in the cab! Just my worries. |

I don't go to 100% these days but had a look just for you, and yes, Chris 'MSVA Tech' is still posting there. There's no contact number that I can see tho it does say the contact number is in issue 60, if anyone has kept all theirs - mine all went went I had a clearout. There's so much useful info in the very long MSVA thread that you should really go there yourself cos most of what you want to know has prolly already been covered. |

Hmm, a bit of measuring's called for I think. Just checked my post -I've got a letter from the DVLA, telling me to drive my Pop to their Wimbledon office for inspection in 2 week's time! No answer on their phoneline so I've emailed them, pointing out that's not going to be possible cos it's in a million pieces undergoing restoration. I await their reply with interest.  |

Thanks Bobbi. Guess I'll have to steel myself to go back, though I swore I wouldn't. I need to know what type of brakelines are allowed & whether there's an age limit on tyres, as I get different opinions from everyone I ask.
