G`day mr PBrown
welcome and yes; more pics please

Thank you all for the comments. The pics are a bit of problem,the file upload fails when i try.The little car only just seats one person, I am 6 foot and can just fit and drive it.It is not licensed, the plate is just for show, no way you can get any thing like this licensed in West Australia.
Ok, I have worked out the attachment gizmo, but not how to place them like you guys do.Its made from all sorts of thongs, a Suzuki stepthru bike wheels,the sliding pillar suspension is made from the front forks of an old Kwaka tail bike front forks,right angle drive from a Honda 4 wheel bike, gearbox from an old railways cart,engine from a old generator with the cowlings removed, front gards from 60s motor bikes etc etc.I originly built it with a small 3 speed out of a small rotary hoe[albion] but found the bigger gearbox with reverse and did quite major cutting and welding to get it in.It is much better now with bigger clutch and reverse.
The pictures are quite deceiving, as it is quite small.

I will try with the pics, front axles are 1/2' H/T bolts, the original wheel bearings changed to take the 1/2", probably not ideal, but for the use works fine.

 

You share my sentiments almost exactly Spartanette. Back on pg. 8 in this thread I posted a photoshopped rendering of a Model A-like 3 wheeler I have in mind and the donor Vulcan 1500 I bought for it's drivetrain.

 

One of these days I will build one to bomb around in

 

Willy,your comment is consistent with your screen name ;}.........

 

Do you think his wife's maiden name was Betty Wont?

 

I just hope we didn't run him off!
