Kimjon Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Couldn't help myself, kumeu swap meet provided just about everything I needed to make another one of these...so it'd be rude not to really? Going to roll with the red and black theme. Got this all done after work today...but still a bit to figure out. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 Neighbours will hate me...but got up early and got a fair bit done this morning. Sprocket swapped out for larger one. Looks simple but a fair amount of lathe work and milling was required. Engine mounts welded on. And wheel hub turned down and milled to fit, from 4 stud to 3 stud to match gokart hubs. And further mocked up for inspiration. Not done yet, but very close. Need a few cheap ebay parts to arrive to complete. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Poor old Mitch must be wondering what the fucks going on with his drift trike. Sadly not much, as my parts from Ebay never arrived. First time I've been let down by Ebay... but it's been 4 months...no parts! So I decided to do what I could with what I had: I adapted a brake caliper to fit the rear, just needed a narrower bracket to hold it. Recycled an old brake line that I found at a swap meet (completely packed full of shit). Blew it out with air, then a generous spray of brake cleaner...repeat... Then set up a lever I got of trademe for $20, and bled the system. Took a bit of bleeding, to the point I was wondering if the caliper was frozen in place...then pop! All is good in da hood, and brakes now working perfectly. I'll buy a clutch off trademe for triple the Ebay price and finish this thing next weekend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Been so busy of late I've neglected my fun project pile. So decided to burn up a little time on this to move it a step closer: Basically done, just need a clutch to fit and then paint touch ups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
