Back from the powdercoaters.

One of the more fun parts to do...



I went into the powdercoaters with a black finish in mind, but ended up with this instead...




The Floor of the cargo unit is approx 4mm thick tread plate, Silicone and riveted.




Shimano Square Taper Bottom Bracket


All City 46t crankset and an Easton XC single speed rear wheel


Getting closer :) more updates in a few days.


After another month....it's update time.

Here's an update on some trike parts and a few pictures and details.




The steering arm and stub axle, the stub axle was turned from a 22mm solid rod with a 25mm step at the steering arm end and an internal thread on the outside edge for a 10mm bolt as pictured. The steering arm is going to be a bit hit and miss but there's lots of room for adjustment etc. I cut, drilled (20mm hole for the stub) and welded the large 3mm plate for the disc brake and steering arm mount.



Here's a shot of the wheel/steering mount, fairly crud at this stage but again there's scope for lots of adjustment. Using 10mm rose joints and a 10mm x 90mm bolt. The rubber parts are from a plumbing supplies store and just a temporary solution.



All welded up ready for the 2 frames to be stripped back and powdercoated.
