Nipped over to Reg's place today, (forum member & local Chap With A Lathe In His Shed, (& therefore a jolly nice chap to know).  He's knocked up a pair of ally oil filler bungs, one for my trike & one for Taz's. They have right angled breather pipes, unlike the vertical ones on the originals, & are as low profile as we could make them to give all important extra millimetres of clearance under the petrol tank. A tenner each. Bargain.  Thanks Reg. The rocker cover's a standard Reliant one powder-coated in gloss black. |

Do I sense a De Ja Vu with your green trike outside the lock up? Rewind 3 years......
The green thing almost lives - yippee!

Breathing life into the wee green beastie's a little way off yet Janie, but it's getting there. Dave, yeah, I'm sure Reg could be persuaded to make another. |

Taz & I only spent half an hour in the garage today -busy trying to sort the sale of my flat out. Time enough to check the rocker cover & breather will fit, bung the tank on & make a few well chosen brumm, brumm noises.  |

I'm too cute to be ruffty tuffty.  Heaps of stuff still to do. Need to make a bracket to hold the choke knob, another for the throttle cable, one for the number plate, plus finish making the one for the coil. Also got to weld up the rear mudguard stays & cut the ally guards to shape, then take it all down to the powder-coaters for some gloss black powder. No exhaust yet, no brakes, no wiring. S-O-O much to do. |

Thats not that much! Be positive!! Ive been poking my volksrod and have turned up rotten holes in every panel including the roof and the steel sunroof! Knew I should have just left the paint on!! 4 brackets, 4 mudgaurd stays, 2 gaurds to trim, a day on exhaust, day on wiring, day running the brake lines, etc, looks like a weeks solid work. Even though it will be done in bits, look at it that way. Doesnt look so bad then! |

S-O-O much to do. i think its fair to say anyone would luv to be in yer position"trike build wise" and although wot u describe sounds like alot at least u have the experience to know how to finish it off,not like say someone like me who's never done a fresh build,if u get my meaning? keep yer chin up |
