Interesting glimpse Brad. Your fitness levels are way higher than mine for obvious reasons. I don't think I would get a whole lot done if I had to trek backwards and forwards from leaky shed to alfresco welding station to semi-floored grinding bench. Hell I object to having to walk 50 feet to my...

Glad I don't have to worry about squirrels. They are real clever little so and so's and a simple cage surely wouldn't keep them out! OTOH I'd prefer them to the damned moles I've got. I've got 5 traps and managed to get only one mole in the last year. My lawns are like a minefield with 'sink...

I've collected a fair bit of 'stuff' since playing with bikes of various types. At the moment I'm happy with my E-bikes and am not now building. Other things have taken over for now. Over thr last year or so I've used various bike bits for some odd creations and enclose a pic (I hope) of three...

Wow! It has been done really nicely but I'd be worried it would tip over just sitting in the driveway.

Quick wash and polish it'll be a fine example! Was a time I'd have been genuinely enthusiastic about something like that- then I didn't have any spare money for such frivolities. Now I could probably afford to buy and do the work to get it sorted but I wouldn't even think of it. I find the will...

If the front half of the propshaft could be short enough to place the bearing in front of the front seats it could be ok to grab a little real estate inside maybe but that would be pretty short I would think. Other place could be just behind the front seats between rear passenger footwells but...

Got it. That's handy and saves a lot of awkward fabbing- always a worry on a critical item like that. I assume the centre of the prop will need a support bearing and carrier bolted on somewhere? Gear selector may well need some careful thought but not safety critical and I'm sure you'll manage...

Nicely thought out and fabricated. Took me a while to see exactly how it worked but now I see it I'm impressed. I take it you won't be re-fitting the cover over the sprocket. Will the propshaft bolt to the sprocket assembly somehow, via a layshaft perhaps, or will you make up a new propshaft/...

Just been watching a youtube vid of guy who put 100bhp Kawasaki engine in a Reliant Rialto. Really bodged up install but never intended for the road. Went like stink when he got it going - almost looked fun. Then he tried to do a burnout and snapped the Reliant propshaft in half?? Kids eh!

I used to study stuff on Pinterest a lot at one time but it became a pain in the end with Google wanting me to give them all my info including inside leg measurements! AZ was appearing very regularly with loads of mentions and pics of you and Kat on various AZ designs. I'd have thought that...

Lovely relaxing video. I envy your great cyclepaths and the polite and thoughtful motorists you encountered. Your video showed the sort of tricycling I would enjoy. Gentle and plenty of time to enjoy nature and the scenery. John

That's a pain Danny. Dangerous fault to find on a newly built car! As undertoad says it's a job which could be a major undertaking on some cars these days. I was watching a vid by some salvage repair guys last week. A Rolls Royce needed a new starter motor. They had to drop the front undertray...

Thanks undertoad. My pics put on other sites seem to be sticking ok now once I get them up so not sure why these are disappearing on me. Potholes are an 'adventure' in a three wheeler as most of you delta/tadpole bikers will know. I've had three wheelers since age 16- probably twenty different...

Absolutely- and after replacing a few bits like oxygen sensor, maf sensor and crankshaft position sensor plus keep topping up the adblue and regular 60mph+ runs to purge the cat. Add to that the forced 20mph crawls in city traffic control zones and I think my old classic isn't at all bad. I...

I've been using postimage since I first came to this site and never had problems till recently. Now it sometimes takes 2 or 3 goes before it responds to image requests and although it shows ok when I upload to here, it will either not show at all or not for very long. I'm not having problems...

I think postimage is having real problems now. It's a bit hit or miss getting a pic uploaded then won't stay put. I'll try another host when I have time. Re The Ant:- My hope is/was that this would be ok as a daily driver so I can get rid of my Berlngo. I hate modern cars. Battery went flat...

Now?????? Well that took several tries but seems to be there now fingers crossed!

Wierd. Postimage seems to be acting up a bit lately. Should be here again now????

Nice one Popshot. That should go like stink when you're done. I've got a cousin of your Kitten that I'm working on now. Just made a new fuel tank for it and load more stuff to sort. 850cc of rugged power two inches from my left leg and the gearstick is about 10" behind my left arm. Probably not...

Hi Paul. Yes it's a bit of an oddity at least to me. I hate to see things thrown out but in all honesty I doubt I could actually use it myself unfortunately. I think testing it would be to test the continuity between all the phase wires (thick ones} which should show a few ohms. The other...
