Been a while since the last post and have been occupied daily with this. Commenced work on the chassis after drawing it up, deciding on material sizes, ordering it etc etc and finally starting the cutting. Settled for 50 x 50 x 3mm angle and drew the design up full size on a nice flat piece of thick birch ply. Chassis size is 360mm x 620mm. After lots of sawing, filing and bending, I have reached this point - Havng decided on three wheels, it took me a little longer to come up with the layout. The front wheel will be a 'Caster' type and it looks like I'll have to make it. I've made a mounting plate 5mm thick to strengthen the area, plus a towing eye. I will tack weld all the joints and then decide whether I continue welding it all up myself, or get it done properly ! - Back to engine and reduction gear mounts which need to be trimmed to final height before welding to the base plate etc - Regards
