Sounds like a great name Cant wait to see some assembly teaser pics

 

[incogrhino]

The handle Im going to try to use for the front brake. Has a patent date on the handle.... jan.18 1912.

 

[Valocalrep]

Front brakes? thats a good idea lol im just going to throw a disk brake on the rear and hope it stops. I bet thats a heavy old handle there

 

[incogrhino]

Front end. Had to slice/bend/weld the arms where I needed em. And the welded rod for the steering will be made fresh. Just for mock up. Also the collars on the spindles. I know better.... need to make bushings today.

 

[incogrhino]

Rear motor mount. Also steering column. Real estate gets gone real fast once ya start putting stuff inside so... I went up. Hope to figure tub mount and where to cut the front of tub for my feet. I went back and forth. Think I gotta.

I tell ya what... this thing has been a great practice in not painting myself in a corner.

 

[incogrhino]

Front brakes just cuz I found wheels with drums. Meant to be I guess....

 

[butch63]

have you considered putting the controls INSIDE the tub:shrug:

 

[incogrhino]

I did. And I may still.:thumbsup:

 

[incogrhino]

Thats most of it. I hate to loose the curves of the tub in the front. I have a plan.ut:

 

[incogrhino]

Update. After sum seat time. My steering is wrong. I hafta push/pull from the other side. No biggy.

 

[firemarshal71]

Don't you hate it when that happens? (steering) This is pretty cool, think it's going to be my favorite in this class. thanks for the updates.:thumbsup:

 

[incogrhino]

Oh... you havent even seen the silly chit yet. I do feel like Im building a boat in a basement kinda tho.

The steering got me cuz im useing stuff from 2 different ones. The rack moves differently. If it was a swing arm setup Id be fine...:censure:

 

[Valocalrep]

Well come do my steering too

 

[incogrhino]

It would end up like a hilo....

 

[incogrhino]

Found mines cuz....
