So currently awaiting the spacers and decals we decided to have a couple of days sunbathing in the Welsh Sunshine whist we await the final bits

Ken must have found the whole process either boring or tiring and fell asleep on the bench

seat in the sunshine. Personally I was in complete agreement and dozed on the other bench seat

Back on the bench for more hardening time whilst the parts arrive , the modified chain tube mount has been fitted , this reduces the chain noise a little and presents the tube at a better angle . The rear rack shown with the 3 point mounting which has a nut inside the seat tube accessible through the black cap . The seat is secured with 3 thumb grundles onto the trike frame.

Although this photo is out of order it shows the thumb grundles and the modified stainless clamps used under the seat to hold it to the frame.

These were found on Ebay, the thumb grundles came from an old cycle rack .The P clips are a motor cycle oil pipe clamps sold in 5's and 10's . B&Q plastic conduit for the chain tubes.

That’s really nice quality home engineering, great attention to detail.

Thanks @Gunk , possibly the last trike . Have enough bits to make one more but life is catching up with us and lots of other time consuming projects of life getting in the way.

These are the seat clamps , more than strong enough to hold the seat onto the seat brackets. Modified with the thumb grundles by making the spacers smaller

I’ve used those as exhaust clamps.

We have one on our generator to take the exhaust outside.

Fitted the decals today and took a few more photos for the build thread .
This site is still unfriendly with photo posting via a mobile so it's one at a time ..

This is the mirror mount modification to give more clearance to the hand when turning .

A cut down and repurposed stem is used to mount the plate . Not the most beautiful design but functional.

Just ordered a second BB removal tool to remove the thread less bb converter. Final job is to fit an extra spacer between the bb and the cup. Photo of the conversion from triple to single

4 m8 cap screws secure the single ring to the crank

.

 

[Gunk]

You’ve made a good job of that

The chain stay protector strip was replaced today with a piece of carbon fibre style self adhesive vinyl
and the Dewi decals added to the seat tube . So far so good .

Awaiting the Bottom bracket tool to fit the spacer to the thread less bottom bracket then it's ready to ride again .
