Trike project - framing

Click Pictures for larger view


I've cut up some 3mm plate to fit between the seat framing and the lower pipes so that both items are locked solid together, i've cut ( and yet to finish ) a half circle shape in the 3mm plate so that later when i make the body panel if i choose to put some scoops or vents in the body panel i can still direct air to the radiator.		I also made up a 3mm top plate for joining the seat framing to the back bone and there is also a 2mm plate for the under side

Pictured here is the upper rear shockie mounts that i've made up out of a mixture of 3mm box tubing and 4mm plate, currently tacked in place ready for Charlie to TIG weld.		Heres a shot from behind which gives a general indication of the angle that my rear shockies are mounted on. Oh and i've also sat some old 245/50/15 tyres in place just for looks ( coz i can) and at this stage i'm planning on proberly getting 265 or 275/50/15 tyres for it when i get to that stage.

And here is a rear view of the rear shockie mounts for no reason other than it was a spare picture i had on the camera that i thought i may as well add hehe.
