Warrior Racing Trike - more progress!
I had some work on my electronics project today, but did manage to get the wheel mounting tabs made today...
Tomorrow i actually have a full day out in the garage so I hope to have at minimum a rolling frame, and if things really go well... a rolling frame with steering and disc brakes completed.
The 5/8 bolt and tab system really worked out well with those standard 20mm hubs, and disc brake setup will be a breeze. What took the longest tonight was hand filing the 1/2 thick tab holes from 1/2 inch to 5/8 using a hand file!
Some days it would be nice to have a drill press, or even a chop saw, but then I loose bragging rights!
