Hi Guys,
Not too much to update i'm afraid. I'm still working on the finishing of my son's Trials Bike.
By the way, if any of you have a son who wants a Trials bicycle, don't think you can save money by chopping and cutting a 26" mountain bike frame to make a 20" trials bike frame as i did. It has been a fun project, but incompatible parts have caused me to have to purchase items that probably exceed the cost of a second hand bike. Oh well it's nearly complete and it will be unique. Lol.
I have managed a little work on the car, between final bike prep and spraying.
All cutting and folding, with the exception of front arches (waiting until i have my wheels to get correct clearence in front arches), is now complete, ready for the rear of the kit and door panels to be placed straight onto the car when i unload them, saving on limited storage space. I have also fitted the Storm single wiper conversion and polished short shift gear lever and gear knob. I did manage to sheer a bolt securing the gear change mechanism in place, this was due to the rear right mounting partially sitting on a press line in the metal bracket that the centre console screws to. This mounting has now been trimmed to clear the press marking and has bolted down tight, producing a lovely short and positive gear selection. It looks good too! Will post a picture next time.
Waiting for Roland to return from holiday now, so he can give me a date to collect my kit. HURRAH!!!!!!!!
I'm like a little kid. Bet i won't sleep the night before going to DNA HQ. LOL!
