So what are you lot up to then? Been very quiet here today. Taz has buggered off to Wales, then on to Cumbria to compete in more carriage driving events. So I'm home all alone for the week.
Spent all evening tinkering in the shed & only managed to make one little bracket for my trike. You guys had any more luck?

Oi been doing odds & sods as well. I am making up engine mounts for this Beetle lump, but hit a snag as there are no holes to put a plate on for the front one.
On the Swedish Trike Garage site they have a pic of how they do it, which is to bolt a thick plate on behind the alt/timing pully, but the studs they use are only M6 sized, and I am a bit iffy about using them to mount a heavy lump on.
I do have a plan, and will post some pics when I get some more 6mm plate & weld it up.

it will be worth it in the end but that seems a long way away ,im waiting for some alloy yokes to be machined so icant position brackets for rad till i get them im using a mini rad and just hoping i can get it too fit not sure how much bigger than reliant one the mini one is no dought i will make it fit any way more grinding ,waiting for some diamond tipped tools for a dremmel they seem to soon
take down the welds a bit savage i suppose but if they do the job then that is near enough for me
