Always on the look out for good ideas to nick & spotted these at the Dorking Harley Davidson autojumble today.
I've seen the tyre/mudguard thing before but this is the tidiest version to date. Nice.

Took a few minutes to suss this one out.
Lovely little vintage brass light is in fact a compression plumbing pipe fitting with a red lens glued into the opening where the pipe would normally be.
A couple of big industrial sized versions of these would look great as trike rear lights -how about on your lorry engined trike VB?

Little VW trike uses a mould taken from the nose cone of a Lotus 7 or Caterham as a tailpiece.
