SPD Minicub

This weekend, I turned my Minicub from a collection of loose parts into less loose parts and something that rolls. I probably won't have the body and seat done until spring, but I should have the engine and all mechanicals ready by then.

Check out more of my before and during photos in my album:

Mini progress on Minicub.





Looking for body isolators... basically solid rubber "donut" 1½" OD x ½" thick w/hole for 5/16" bolt. I found some similar engine isolators with threaded inserts, but not the basic ones. :shrug: Any help appreciated.

Did you check with McMaster Carr they might have a good variety.

M-C is where I found the engine isolators with the threaded inserts. So far I didn't find any plain "donuts", but they have some tubular material (1½" OD w/3/8" hole) that I could probably use if I can figure out a way to cleanly slice off ½" lengths.

Getting close... still need to work out some issues with throttle and brake cables, rub out paint and install decals. Slowly, but surely.

I finally was able to display (and ride) all the Sperry trikes last week. First public showing of the Mincub since completed.

There was supposed to be another guy bringing a Sperry Wedge 6X6 but he was a no-show. I was hoping for a complete Sperry family reunion... oh well maybe next time.

Those tires are 16x14.5-6 Goodyear terra tires. I don't think that they've been made since the 70s, so are pretty hard to find usable ones now. Based on that, there's probably not any mud in their future. :smile:

If you're interested, I can complete the family at a show with a SPD Wedge!
