Manky Monkey Motors

well you keep filling my head with new idea's, Brock's silver reliant has got me thinking about how I would like one to look, love the goose neck etc but would like to go more retro hotrod looking if possible, also Sumo and his bl :P :P dy Panther trike has got me thinking about Panther servicars ::) plus I shouldn't mention his "stump puller" idea as that is on another site ::) ::) Manky keeps giving me ideas about the Pop and I don't have any chuffing money or time !!!! >:( >:( >:( >:(
well I had better go and do some work to try and earn some money to pay for this lot ::) ::) ::)






















don't really hate you  :-* :-*

you can mention it now ive attached a pic  ;D ... i need another head so i can start thinking about mocking it up proper but im at the beginnings at the minute

you have most of the parts to do your panther trike [which clearly needs a box on the back coz thats the future :) ] so you might as well get cracking on that so you are in with a chance for dragon rally next year on it

You'r not the only one. I am being teased with a CBR600 engine & sierra chain drive conversion.
Got to keep on with with the VW though.

"i need another head so i can start thinking"

-you & me both mate.  :P

 :)Hiya Shaun and Co!
Interested that you've got the "Grass is greener on the other side" bug. ASWELL.
I'm now sliding into the mental torment of "I need a chopped pick up."
Thanks to looking at your little project-Shaun!
I've STILL got to get my trike done yet. Sorted the reverse gearbox side of things.
Just getting the Reliant engine to Moto Guzzi box adapter plates plasma cut this week.
Keep on with the GOOD work, you lot.
Impressive STUFF.
(ps Don't try designing and building houses at the same time. Then you're scuppered)

i feel for you panther shaun...ime exactly in the same position as you.Struggling at the moment to keep my head above water as the recessions biting hard.Got no money to finish my project bobber.The frames done and forks and wheels are in.The engine is in but ive got no electrics for it.....so there it sits in the garage,collecting dust.....boo hoo.

I've started sticking bits and pieces on eVilbay, got a 2cv engine and a pair of Triumph Spitfire wheels on at the moment :'( :'( :'( hate selling stuff but needs must as they say ::)

When you get to the 2CV pedal box, let me know Shaun.  ;)

do you really want one Andy? if you do I could ask around my contacts for you.

If it's as easy as you say to fit, might be the simple answer. We only need 2 pedals though, (auto box).
Got any pics of yours fitted?

well all I did was cut an oblong hole in the bulkhead, slide the pedal assembly into the hole, using the 2 bolt holes that connect the brake peddle to the master cylinder I then cut a pair of brackets out of some thin angle, bolted these to the pedalbox/master cylinder and drilled and bolted the brackets to the bulkhead. I will weld the brackets in place once I have everything where I want it.

Does that sound simple enough?

I will ask around for you. ;)

Need to get back in mine & take a good look at where they're going to go -whether I need hangy down pedals or sticky up ones, & whether I need one either side of the steering column. Very short of foot space in the footwell. Might well do the trick though. If you know of any going cheap would be worth having, if only to pull apart & re-work.

I think these would work either side of the steering column, I'll get a picture for you at the weekend.
