A bit more in the Black Horse saga.
As previously stated, after fitting the narrow wheels and tyres, the rear end was sitting higher, resulting in a reduction of plough depth. So to level things up I'm doing a little modification to the front end.
My idea is to extend the vertical stem of the steering arms that fit into the front axle. I have a pair of arms off the Raider 10 now a parts donor.
So the first job was to re-thread them 10mm. Reason for that is that I've only 10mm bolts long enough. I then turned up some sleeves the same diameter as the steering arms. These I made longer than I may need to allow for final hight adjustment. I also turned up a couple of spacers for under the axle to raise the front.
The next job is modifying the trailer stub axles I've got, the same as I did when fitting the scooter wheels earlier in my C-120 thread.
Photo is of parts so far minus bottom spacers.
Think I may have read wrong. You mean clamps to hold the battery? Again you can get a kit, length of angle and two rods from Halfords. Maybe not original but do the job.
If you mean the type that are a bit smaller that car ones, you can get them over here from places like Halfords and garden machinery dealers. I got some off a stall at one of the shows.
