build
Stahp, What are you doing?
With the front end almost built, it is time to install the brake system. This involves running the brake lines from front to back and across the IRS arms to the calipers.
Happy New Year!
First things first, Happy New Year to you all! I hope that the silly season brought you everything you wanted and you get everything you want in 2016! I have been way to quiet on here, but not with the project, and I will endeavor to update you on the progress being made.
Boing Boing – Part 3
As we had left the build with the A frames being assembled, it is now on to fitting those completed parts to the main frame of the trike.
Boing Boing – Part 2
Last time we had just finished the installation of the inner bearings on the A arms and had prepped up ready to install the outer bearings.
Boing Boing
First off an apology, Since the last post life has happened. My wife has had an operation on her knee and any work that was scheduled for the rebuild has been put on hold. However, never fear a few things have happened with the build so read on and find out whats been going on.
Red is the Only Colour – Redux
When I last posted about the frame, I had left it at the powder coaters ready for some colour to be applied. This has now been applied and I am starting to see the eventual look of the vehicle.
Red is the only Colour
I managed to get the last bits on the trike welded and took the frame down to get powder coated (about time!)
And the weld goes on
We have almost reached the point of no return with the frame, and we will be ready soon to get the frame to powder coating. Unfortunately the time is being taken up with doing little things on the trike, like constructing the box mounts on the sides and close off the holes in the horns.
It’s the Little Things That Count
We are working on those final bits to get the frame ready for powder coating, with small amounts of work to be done to the engine before we test run that as well. Things are starting to take shape.
