Today was an opportunity to have some more "Trike Fun".
So, notwithstanding yesterday's adventure into "too small/narrow-land", today we went into "Essex Wide-Boy" mode and redid the dead axle beam in a newer, wider size (would you like to go large with your order Sir?").
First I cut off the tacks holding the previous version together (good penetration on all the welds (I am happy to say) we do like a bit of penetration don't we?
Then after I cleaned the plates up again I cut a fresh section of tube to provide me with a 34" track (same as a Hase Catweasel, and yes, I know it isn't a Catweasel, but I like that name).
Again, it was just lightly tacked and then I put the wheels back on and had some further fun with more tube and some clamps in assembling more bits together to look like a 24" wheeled Delta Trike.
You can see how it "dwarfs" the tadpole behind it. The track is 34" and the wheelbase is 55" in the mockery mockup shown here.
All angles/distances etc. are just guesstimates by eye at this time with no science behind any actual "fitting" to yours truly. Especially the bit of tube holding the seat-back up in the air.
Anyway, it is a "start" at least.
