well worth a fiver! looks to me like you could mount it onto some tube and the tube can follow the bottom line of the seat from back to front, like the `filler` tubes in an earlier pic

Yup, summat like that TB.  I also bought a 6" long polished bellmouth from a nice Harley spares chap. If I can persuade Doc to machine us an adaptor, we'll bolt it to the standard Reliant 1 1/4" SU carb. I'll cut up the foam air filter from my own trike & add a disc of foam into the bottom of the bellmouth, then buy myself a new one. Over the top maybe, but I like the cartoonish quality of it. It'll need to point forward, same as mine. Pointing outwards, it would protrude, (good word), beyond the frame line & cause problems with the sharp, sticky out objects part of the MSVA test. So we'll need to turn the carb through 90 degrees by re-drilling the mounting holes in the manifold, (750 Reliants used Zenith carbs & their manifolds will turn the SU through 90 degrees, which is handy). |

I found a headlight stone guard for a couple of quid. No mountings on it so I'd have to weld some tabs to the headlight rim, so just as well we plan to strip the chrome off & powder-coat it grey. I thought it might suit the agricultural/industrial look we're going for. Now I can't decide though.
What d'ya think?

Looking good, is the mesh to chop the flys up so that they make 4 times as much mess?

Taz says she can use the stone guard as a sieve if we don't put it on the trike.

Taz.. To drift off theme a bit... posts 674/675
The trike.
In answer to getting IT out of the conservatory.
It is a softail, so the back axle/swingarms will split from the front end.
It will be "fun" putting this into practise.
I actually read your reply. But the brain was on 21 hours at work a day, setting.
This is a fairly, low ebb, setting...Much like a jelly fishes.
It is on Postie setting now.
....Higher, before you ask!

No letter trays (ehem!) from work lurking, full of nuts and bolts, Manky?
You'd have to do a good bit of Photoshopping at my gaff!
Looking nice, you two.
Got a deadline, that you are thinking of Tazzer?

Thanks and no deadline set. We are just doing what we can when we can. We'll be putting it through the new test when it changes so as other people building know what to look out for.
