set back end up , tacked together,axle sat where it needs to be. need to lengthen prop now that i had it shortened, [[[ measure once, cut twice]]] easy to mount some bumper set up to the ends now. perhaps 2 inch tube with dome ends and small lights set into it.

shaped a piece to go from out side frame one side to other, following same shape as bit forward of it. used some 2 inch ally box, clamps and bits of timber to spot anywhere that distorts

then braced it back to seat frame thus creating a box effect to get rigidity. done it just high enough to get the axle out with discs off should i need to. going to mount a bandit 1200 silencer side ways off it so it looks like its there for a reason.
lad who works at steel place across the way dropped me 7ft of 2inch stainless tube off which was to be for a bumper but not strong enough. will do to join to manifold somehow and make a one piece exhaust back to bandit can.

once i get the steel n bender zakboy it don't take long to do.
whats your opinion on the strength, the upward pressure as the wheel gets pushed up putting the pressure on the upright bit of the furthest back : arch : should then transfer down the two pieces to the next : arch shape : [the box effect] but the cross pieces are apx 8 inch inward.. you think it will still be strong enough. feel really solid just tacked up...

It looks fine to me dobber, i do tend to go over the top some times with overkill running your tyres at low pressure will help a lot in absorbing shock from the pot holes and uneven road surfaces beeing a bit more forgiving on the frame.... what length are we at with the trike

7 ft wheel center to wheel center and apx 9 ft from front of front tyre to the ends where bumper will end. because its so low it makes it look longer. how much longer do the conversion ones you do end up?

made an allmighty blunder. purposely made the box bit at the back tall enough to slide the axle out underneath in case of repair etc, stupidly never thought the diff couldn't come side ways enough to drop the end of the axle thru the middle of the frame. had to cut a section of tube out. will have to mess with it so the section can be unbolted for axle removal. . bit like some bikes that have a section of the frame which unbolts to get the lump out.

D'oh! Glad I'm not the only one who makes cock-ups, creates design flaws, like that.

got the axle back on and bolted the brake bits, arch and wheel on one side. seem to have spent more time studying this rear than i do with the local lasses ones.
