Yes they do include the diff ones. I didnt get my sizes from this site,but its a good guide.Some suppliers dont sell polished ones,so make sure they are polished,or youve got the polishing gear. I used some metric bolts on other areas of the trike. these werent polished,so I hit them with the buffing wheel.
 
 LOL Clive! Yes youre right,but TBH it doesnt look much different to the almost complete pics Ive got on here already,thats why I havent done any!  Smiley

So apart from the now long running saga of the rear guards,I think Im ready for the MSVA.Ive got the forms and will ring the central number to find out which of my two chosen centres does w/end tests (apparently some do on a Saturday,altho the forms I have says Sats,Suns,and b/hols) Ive found a guy with a trailer ,so i'll ring him tamara to get a price and see when he's available.Then its sort the guards in the next 2 weeks, get it weighed and stamped on the chassis plate and also get an mot before the MSVA . Meanwhile, while Im treading water so to speak, I'm going to finish the pillion backrest and start on a removable rear rack.

if i remember it does ask for the weight on the form but you dont have to stamp it on your frame
i think its to work out your brake efficiency dont know why you have to bother though as when i was at the vosa station for the msva the bloke weighed it again  Smiley

dont worry about waiting for muddies, they arent needed for MSVA Smiley

obviously if youve mounted your lights on them, then youm ight need them, but just mount them on the axle etc and get it done Smiley

Thanks for all the comments guys! Kiss Doesnt look like the trailer is going to surface,so I ve had another thought. Hiring a tail lift Transit Luton! Should be able to get the rearend on it ,and get my 2 lads to take the weight of the front as the tail lift moves.Im going to sort out cost and lifting swl's tamara.
   After seeing a pic of Zakboys trailer on his build thread,I thought this would be an option. Making it is no problem,but the bits ,eg suspension etc will cost around £200.........so another cost prohibitive.
