Anyone can share what these 3 arrows are?
#1 what is this bolt doing here? I intend to have it covered before getting it blasted and powder coated.
#2 only on the left side and it does not make sense to me. WTH is this? Cover it too?
#3 appears to be on both left and right side (e-brake)
While looking for ideas for the trike frame, I came across this design that seems to be the only one available...has anyone tried this design? CAD file etc?
Edit: Photobucket link issue fixed
Maybe it's just my browser or internet provider but I don't get anything with your photobucket link.:Shrug:
I think the bolt is for a ground strap from the transmission to the frame. According to a service manual I have, it says there are 2 tubes for the heat exchanger cables for the heater and 2 for the e-brake cables.
#1 Ground strap connection for engine / trans (rubber mounted).
#2 E-brake cable exit. (should be one on other side also)
#3 Heater box control cables. (not needed unless you live and ride in REALLY cold weather!) I've heard that tubes from heater boxes to pant legs work pretty good in winter. :D
That was a few things that I did not know, but now I do. Thank you for the answers to the questions.
I say "why not just wire in a seat warmer", or do they have electric warmers for the legs now ?
Thanks VWBug. Ah...the ground strap. I am glad I asked lol. As far as heating, I am turning this thing into a trike and plan on keeping my heated liners OR JUST RUN A SURGICAL TUBE UP MY PANT LEG AS SUGGESTED :laugh:

You made me laugh, back in the day my vw bus had a gas turbine heater mounted in the engine bay. I ran a 3" flex duct hose on the floor to the front seat area so you could grab the hose a point it where heat was most needed, the windshield, or just stick it in my jacket! Buffalo winters were fun!
