Well, I've been having problems with one of the drive shafts and brake/wheel hub assembly. Problems that have cost me considerable amounts of money with 2 so called trike experts sorting it out for me. I'm not able to do any mechanicy things myself.
Finally had enough and took it to B & I Trikes in Huddersfield (see
www.VWTrikes.co.uk )
"Well" says the man (a laid back bloke called Tony), "I think the drive shaft is bent and it's put a strain on the wheel hub assembly".
This is gonna cost AGAIN I thought.
No, the quote came in very very very reasonable (but don't tell Tony).
"Right" says I, "get on with it". So he does.
Whilst he's starting, I spies a nice looking Trike in production with a very very nice 1641cc VW Twin Carb set up.
"How much would it cost me to get rid of the 1300cc and up it to a 1641 with Twin Carbs" I asks. He tells me, again very very reasonable.
"Right" says I, "get on with it". So he does.
Then I spies a nice 3 spoke mag wheel for the front (mine has a ridiculously stupid MZ front wheel on).
"How much to replace the front wheel" says I. He tells me, again very very reasonable.
"Right" says I, "get on with it". So he does.
Well now all this work is nearly complete and every time I've called over to see the progress, I've added a few more little 'wants' to the list (moving Atilla the Huns footrest which she's never really been able to reach comfortably amongst other things).
The engine has been all sparkled up like a tart on a night out.
Suffice to say, it's nearly done and looking georgeous. I'll post some piccies when it's all done and dusted.
Just need the British Summer to start now (ha ha ha ha ha ha)
